Hidden Gem

A while ago I saw pictures of a posh haberdashery shop in Paris which reminded me of how my heart pounds with anticipation and my palms go sweaty every time I step into a VV Rouleaux shop…but this little treasure tucked deep inside Tooting’s covered market, if I am honest, produces exactly the same effect….

And much more.

I can indulge with abandon…explore every creative whim…still go home with pennies in my pocket….having supported a local independent enterprise…huge big Brucie Bonus’s.
