This store has intruiged me since I was little - I always used to find it unusual that a Scandinavian shop were to entice business in a Scottish town in Inverclyde! Not to mention its 70s shop front - I actually used to think it was an old school charity shop.
Over the years it has turned into a high end gift shop full of gorgeous goodies. The gifts inside are of a very cool variety - from cushions with horse silhouettes printed on them to ornate bird themed crockery, this shop is very much in keeping with the current indie trend for organic decoration. There are also some arty greetings card and funky wrapping paper towards the back of the store. The wrapping paper struck me as being very disco; some of it is a shimmery rainbow colour.
I hate to coin an overused, misunderstood phrase but I have to say, this shop is very 70s retro in terms of gift choices. There are a lot of brown cushions and burnt orange mugs, but everything is very much en vogue at the mo. There's also an expensive range of jewellery which is absolutely gorgeous for a significant present (or just a lavish treat for yourself).
I couldn't see any Scandinavian designer's signitures on the stock but I guess I wasn't entirely sure what I was looking for. The shop assistant was very accomodating, however, so if you have any enquiries about the jewellery manufacture or if you're just looking for a hand, I'm sure she would be happy to help! read more
