Great place to find an unusual gift. The mirror tray I purchased looks fabulous.
Interior design feature pieces are aplenty.
Owners chihuahuas are seriously cute too.

Disappointingly overpriced.Many of these items are mass produced and the same brands can be found significantly cheaper elsewhere. Arrogant and unfriendly manager, a shop that is really just style over substance. Sadly, more smoke and mirrors than looking glass.

Fascinating and packed shop full of things I've not seen before, some tasteful, others a bit too bling for me. Helpful staff.
