I stopped in for the first time yesterday after passing it by several times. Between the Aquarium and in the same building as Intercontinental, it looks like the average tourist-y type shop and the shops inside the Intercontinental building are usually pricey.
Yes, they do have the pricey pieces of art ($1400 statues), but they also have really cute hats for kids and women. I tried a few on and decided to come back soon....They have sun hats, newsboy hats with fake fur, vintage style cloche hats (vintage style, but new), and I'm sure I"m forgetting to name some.
Also cute jewelry, household decor. I liked the yoga frogs and colorful glass jellyfish. They had handpainted Christmas ornaments that would be great for a White elephant or other holiday party.
I'm in a wheelchair and couldn't reach some of the hats I wanted to try on so I'm coming back with someone. Didn't ask the guy behind the counter for help cause it felt awkward....shouldn't he have asked? I was the only one in the store. He did say hi, so I'd say I should have told him I couldn't reach something........
Good for shopping for yourself or gifts. Not tourist-y, and not pricey. read more
