The British are coming . . . again. In the wake of Topshop, Dorothy Perkins, and Wallis comes Warehouse, another staple of British high-street fashion. Ever at your service, ShopCrazy floated over to the store opening yesterday to pick out some nice items for your consideration. But first, what makes Warehouse different from Topshop, Dorothy Perkins, and Wallis?
Three things:
1. Their motto is “Design for the high street.” (That means designer quality at high-street prices. Warehouse puts a lot of emphasis on the democratization of fashion, so quality can be accessible to all. Lovely thought, though we must point out that “affordable” is a relative term. A Big Mac in London costs three times its price in Manila. Purchasing power parity and all that.)
2. They say “styley” instead of “stylish.” (That sounds better than our moms saying “spooting”, don’t you think? Is that how you spell it? S-p-o-o-t-i-n-g? Where did this word come from, anyway?)
3. Topshop, Dorothy Perkins, and Wallis belong to the same parent company in the UK, while Warehouse is owned by another group. (But in the Philippines, they’re all managed by the same group called . . . can you guess?)
Click on the jump to see more goodies you can buy at Warehouse this weekend. We picked out a lot of things for you, so don’t forget to keep clicking “next page” at the bottom of the screen. The purses on the last page are fabulous and fairly priced
