Wonderful Shops….

La Galeria Elefante- Ibiza

Most people spent their holidays on the beach or by the pool or visiting museums or famous landmarks. I prefer to look for wonderful shops…..

La Galeria Elefante is a concept store housing a collection of unusual pieces and crafts, every piece is collected with love (many items are one-offs) by the store creators from around the world. Based in Ibiza, the store has at its heart the values of the White Isle which is known around the world for its eclectic nature.


 The English owners Sharon and Victoria both live on the island of Ibiza and travel extensively as part of the Elefante journey. They support both charities and the global craftspeople that provide many of their products, which are two more reasons for visiting 
them.


An Aladdin’s cave of colour, pattern and lovely things, you could spend days going through the store. This is also a meeting place of music, writers and artists and has an outdoor bar and cafĂ© area and Yoga rooms to relax and unwind.



So, if you find yourself on the White island and need a retail fix or a break from the sun, do try this out.

Interesting Shops….

& Other Stories
I much prefer one-off and specialist shops to larger chains, but whilst in Madrid I discovered & Other Stories which is part of the H&M group. I must I was impressed by the stock, great looking shop and display and brilliant customer service. So the High street can get it right, lets hope that other brands take note and follow suit. At the moment the branch openings are in selected areas and each store has a unique quality so you get the feel of an exclusive boutique.



& Other Stories is a fashion brand offering women a wide range of shoes, bags, accessories, beauty and ready-to-wear to create their personal style, or story. Our creative ateliers in Paris and Stockholm design diversified fashion collections with great attention to detail and quality at an affordable price.
Today, a woman with a love for fashion creates her own style.



I am totally converted and I am due in Malaga in May so I will be paying a visit.

Happy Shopping

Wonderful Shops

THE IMAGINARIUM
Your imagination knows no limits
This wonderful shop opened in September 2013, just in time for Christmas.
Full of unusual finds, unique and one-off items, the striking black walls and unique display ideas make this a shop worth visiting if you are in the north of England. There is no website at the current time. But Facebook does give a great feel for the flavour of this shop. It’s also worth viewing the Handmade Yorkshire Soap company as this is a sister company.
