Hi!Hi there!
I'm heading up to London Mid June for a business trip and have given myself a day off for some strolling around London and shopping. On top of my wish list is to buy a classic caviar WOC SHW or GHW. Do you know at which store I have the biggest chance of success? I prefer a boutique over a department store. I'm going to have my day off on a Tuesday. I already have a reissue 226 and am purchasing the WOC to pass on to my daughter when she is 18 (I gave birth this Jan). Perfect excuse to treat myself to a new bag![]()
I always shop at Harrods as I'm loyal to their rewards scheme. I have always seen WOCs in both hardwares in their first floor boutique. They always have classics here and great stock. They never display them but they always have them when I enquire. I recommend the first floor womenswear department over the ground floor accessories. They have an entire accessories room in the womenswear department and it's a lot more relaxed and quiet. They give you loads of time to try things on, places to sit, have a drink etc. Downstairs is always very busy, particularly with tourists, so I feel the experience isn't the same. If they don't happen to have what you want, you have the option of downstairs and the shoe department boutique also carries some bags. Failing all three boutiques in Harrods having what you want, then the Walton Street boutique isn't far to walk to. Happy shopping!
