Penny Blood's Black Book - Penny Blood's eclectic collection of favourite places in London to drink coffee, eat cake, have tea, eat out, buy clothes, watch movies, kill time, read Voltaire, quote Baudelaire and write this blog.

I hate sales. The whole shop looks ugly, everything is rammed together, basically aesthetics go to hell, I’d rather pay full price than have to deal with that shit. When I shop I like the whole experience to be pleasurable. Korean owned Hurwundeki makes this so. They never over cram the rails, having only one size of each item so it makes you feel like everything is a one off. One would expect it to be expensive. Its not, everything seems to float around the £24 mark sometimes up to £50. They have a mixture of vintage and new, men and womens and both stores (Carnaby Street, Spitalfields) are stylish and designed with all kinds of ‘vintage clutter’. I have acquired many little fitted jackets here which people usually assume are Martin Margiella.
p.s I just bought a gold scarf there – a GOLD scarf!
