How should your favourite store look like?

[tombo]

This thread is for every one who has a favourite store around the world.

For me it should be very clean with nice paintings on the wall.

Good music and hot stuff.

Add to that a great selection of magazines and books, some of which are hand-picked by Raf Simons just for the specific store, and you've basically described my favorite (it exists).

hot friendly flirtatious cleavage baring sales girls that help you out with trying on clothes, food and beverage bar, high ceilings with yellow-almost white light chandeliers, magazines, books, big comfy couches, carpeted walk in closet sized fitting rooms, mahogany wood shelves and hangers, good music that appeals to all clientele, no sales tax no matter how high priced the item, flat panel tv's showing cult movies, loyal customer membership cards that give you discounts, wooden floors with painted brick walls, red carpet main path, gigantic hallway like space, proper ac/heat temperatures that cools you down or heats you up from the outside and a fountain in the middle just because it would be cool.

I like Brad Pitt's ideas.

I like places that are really spacious, so they can have a lot of product but have it displayed in a simple way that makes veiwing each piece easy. I hate cluttered, crowded stores (think General Pants Co. in QBV) where you have to shuffle between racks of clothing when carrying bags or passing other customers.

In terms of sales staff, Id much prefer a dorky guy that knows about his products and what he is talking about than some hot bimbo that is just there to look pretty. Ideally there should be more trained tailers working at mens fashion stores to give sound advise on fit and construction of their garments.

Id like to shop in a store that has jazz or blues music playing at a low level rather than Electro pop that you have to yell over.

Think inside-of-fridge. Low ambient hum or minimal electronic noise. Wood floors, Raw concrete walls and light wood fittings, maybe beech ply or bambu alternative. Clean glass, possibly frosted. Range of shop lighting to suit mood and bits of nice leather furniture dotted about - possibly vintage designer. Panton or Rodica that sort of thing. Got a few big plants in their as well. Something leafy.

Clothes are architectural high end. Displayed on hanging mannequins. Changing rooms are clinically clean and well lit.

The attractive staff are laid back but knowledgeable, keep the place tidy and quiet.
