Thread: Harrod's in London /Saville Row

I've been around to many countries. Being that I'm in fashion, one of my duties is to shop. Every trip I make to London, I usually designate one day to shop for personal self indulgent needs. If you ever find yourself in London and want to go the best shopping in the area, cab it over to none other than Harrods in London. Bring your gf/mistress/wifey, they will be stunned, but so will your face when you see next month's cc statement.

And

If you like the best things in life, and want a suit made for your body. Look no further than the famed Saville Row of London. A custom tailored suit will run anywhere from $2,000 to $12,000, but it will last you a lifetime (if you keep fit). It takes a good while (plus multiple fit sessions in some cases) to make the suit. Just like other custom tailors, they will retain your measurements. So if the need should ever arise for another jacket, shirt, or whatever, they can spec one up for you perfectly!

Agreed on all counts.

I was just in London / Paris last week and the fashion in Paris is light years ahead of US. This was my first time at Harrods and I never realized it was so HUGE! Chocolate and cookies from M&S are top notch!

Wifey was delightfully surprised when she saw a mini Harrod's at LHR Again!!!

I shopped my a$$ off at the St. Pancras Intl Terminal before boarding the Euro Star. Thomas PINK!

Saville Row is spectacular and so is bond street, you can shop till you drop over there. Other amazing places to shop is in Monte-Carlo.

Sloane street has a lot too even though my personal preference is Bond st. Paris is incredible but nothing compares to Tokyo IMO.

in London, The Library is an excellent men's store for trendier men's fashion - Dries van Noten, excellent cashmere socks, crazy shoes, etc. i spent about $10k there in 1999 after they let me in (i had to wait 20 mins b/c Madonna was shopping in there for some reason and they closed the store!)

Must check out The Library on my next visit.
