#derek rose

So I was able to take a trip to London last month for a personal event and I didn’t exactly plan it out so well but I managed to check out the Derek Rose store in Notting Hill.

I was actually kind of surprised by how small the store was. I didn’t manage to take many pictures inside but the store assistants were really helpful, they even offered me coffee. I forgot to take a catalogue but I guess I could always go back another time. 

The display was pretty quaint for the size of the store with menswear and womenswear on separate sides of the shop and a small changing room in the centre.

The light-blue pair of Lingfield pyjamas caught my eye pretty instantly, I managed to try it on for fit (the pair was size small luckily) and it actually did fit me pretty well. The fabric was thicker than most pairs of pyjamas I own but it was definitely luxurious cotton with an elegant striped satin sheen. Wasn’t very smooth to touch though to my dismay.

I didn’t really get to check out the Regimental-1 RAMC pyjamas from them (since they don’t seem to have it on their online store anymore) and I don’t they they had it in stock either since people usually place orders with them for certain products and they collect and pay in the store. I suppose I could try it for next time but I actually don’t think I would buy it though, so I would rather not waste their time.

The price is pretty steep so I probably won’t get a pair of Derek Rose pyjamas any time soon but I was kind of surprised on the range of products they sell that were not nightwear.

I also wanted to check out the Bonsoir of London store but it turns out that there wasn’t exactly a store for them in London... but hey at least Chipotle was in the area so I got to try that.

Also can’t miss having Boba while I’m in London!

BUT YEAH! It was pretty cool trip, I had boba, did stuff I planned, watched buskers perform and played a butt-load of Pokemon Go.
