finally made it to mary portas' shop-in-shop for hof. mr specs is mildly obsessed with all things mary (and yellow door) so was a little excited.
shop design is good (clever panels block out neighbouring concessions, exposed ceiling and original windows look great).
clothes are bold and colourful. my friend, miss specs, tried clothes but wasn't old enough for the looks on offer. in fairness the clothes are not aimed at her.
selected homewares lack relevance to hof shoppers but a keen eye would notice similar goods can be found on columbia road.
bellboys gave out free coffee, which was a nice touch. toiletries and food look a little lost.
verdict - mary, ask for more floor space to present full lifestyle offering.
ps have you thought about capsules for nespresso? they would be bright orange, of course.
