Rhonda Drakeford and Lulu Roper-Caldbeck have opened a fabulous fashion and interiors store in Lamb’s Conduit Street. Their design and textile backgrounds are evident in the textures and dark, graphic store design. It feels like a very personal selection of goods and they try to source designers and craftsmen that are unique to the store.
Darkroom stock cult accessory brands Fleet Ilya – see bags above, Staerk and Medicine Douce. Interior brands include Moooi, Minimalux and Thomas Eyck.
