Bluebird (by Alex)

The Shop at BLUEBIRD


The Shop at Bluebird was launched in 2005 and trades from an iconic Art Deco building on the Kings Road in London. It is very much an ever evolving concept store, selling everything from designer womens wear, menswear and accessories through to furniture, home accessories, gifts, books and music. Our Spa and Beauty areas were added in 2007.

The shop marks a return to the spirit of the Kings Road in the Sixties and Seventies, when the area was a melting pot of styles and fashions. Stock is constantly changing, as is the retail space, which is large enough to accommodate exhibitions and performance art.

STORE LAYOUT
With 10,000 sq ft, the space is dedicated to displaying everything in a unique but informal setting. Concept rails and walls with individual shelves to hold handbags make this a visual experience. A huge table filled with design books takes up most of the centre. 
Shoes on tables, handbags on walls  -  you can admire it all. A good selection of patent court shoes and new season bags

 SIGNATURE STYLE
A great mix of designers here, from chic French brands such as Isabel Marant and Vanessa Bruno to hot British name Richard Nicoll and favourites like See by Chloe. From younger trend-led styles through to sophisticated evening wear for the fashion savvy, there's something for everyone. There seems to be an excess of cashmere and knits. Sonia Rykiel's brightly coloured range would brighten up your wardrobe all winter. Or look instead for more original pieces by Manoush. A good range of denim labels, too. 

My opinion
I liked this shop. Staff there is always smiling and very polite. Always want to help you and shows a lot of attention to you.
The interior is very cool. Its not crouded. There are a lot of vintage things, which attracts attention.
I also liked the lighting instaliation in this shop

Located in London’s hippest fashion emporium on the King’s Road, the Shop at Bluebird (S.A.B.) is an ultra chic mecca for all things fashion, spa, interiors, accessories, events and pop-up stores.
