I’ve popped in here a couple of times and really love the feel of the place. Most wee boutique type places feel like a pressure cauldron when you’re inside but This place is really relaxed and worth a browse. Ok, Comme Des Garçon may not be the cheapest clothing on the planet but you’re going to find something here that puts a smile on your face — even if it puts a black hole in your bank account. In saying that, I’ve bought a couple of Margaret Howell bits that were almost a third of the original price. The shop itself feels like a well laid out gallery, with great natural light to complement the natural finishings. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly and take their time explaining clothing function/details etc. If you’ve got the cash then this could become a regular haunt. If like me beans are regularly on the domestic menu, then a couple of times a year to find something special with serious reductions is enough.

With it’s large glass window from roof to ground facing you when you enter Ruthven Lane you can’t miss W2 Store. Opened in November 2008 as Comme des Garçon guerilla store it’s aim was to be open for a year and to spend a minimal amount on the interior. However, I believe it is now a ‘post-guerilla’ store and so is here for keeps. It now stocks other designers along with goods from iconic fashion Japanese fashion house Comme des Garcons. It is a real mix of fashion and some of the clothes are just stunning. A male friend of mine tells me he would easily buy his whole wardobe from here if only it was a little less expensive. The prices vary but can be crazily expensive. I also really like the idea of this little exclusive shop being situated amongst all the vintage shops of the west end.
