London stores Ilk, Start, Microzine, any good?

[Gaby]

Hi guys,

I will be in London shortly with a few hours of shopping time only. I am looking for a quick way to see some Rag & Bone stuff, according to their website, the following stores carry R & B, but they are unknown to me, so I was wondering if any London guys could help me out. Which of these are having the broadest range of cool stuff, Rag & Bone, or other good brands?

- Ilk (24 All Saints Road, W11 1HG)

- Start (59 Rivington Street, EC2)

- Microzine (66-67 Colebrook Row, N1 8AB)

Actually what I am looking for isn't just Rag & Bone, but other "grown up streetwear" brands as well...

Thanks in anticipation!!

If you only have a couple of hours, Selridges and Liberty department stores are probably your best best. They are both fairly close to each other as well.

I think some sales started this week - you maybe in luck.

Cue is right, Selfridges and Libertys are probably your best bet, particularly as they are also close to stores like The Hideout, Busy Work Shop, Foot Patrol, Maharishi etc.

Start is a great store though, and the people in there are nice.

Liberty is great, but Selfridges, I doubt that's where he'll find brands like Rag & Bone...or am I wrong?

well it stocks a ton of brands and a lot of 'grown up streetwear' sorta stuff ... the menswear section is twice, three times the size of Liberty's ...

If you only have a couple of hours shopping time it would make sense - getting out to any of the stores that stock Rag and Bone would take some time

Dunno - not my cup of tea stylewise, I prefer Newburgh Street, Upper James etc area for clothes.

Gaby - let us know how you go and what you think ....
