Monday Stock Blog: More Original 60s Desert and Chelsea Boots - and Underground Shoes!

Remember this very excitable post last October?


Well, unbelievably, lady luck must be a vintage fan, because she has blessed SHOP with even more amazing dead-stock ORIGINAL 60s Chelsea Boots and Desert Boots for men and women! As we said last year - moments like these happen rarely in the vintage world, when what's hot in fashion is a vintage design and then somewhere like SHOP manages to find the originals! Not only does this mean they are The Ultimate, the quality is much better than the modern mass reproductions too.

Exciting, right?

Wrong! Well, you are right, but there's MORE!

This time they have arrived with friends from the label Underground Shoes.  Underground Shoes have been around a long, long time - they were the original choice for the alternative crowd.  They are currently ressurecting some of their original desgins to the delight of people like, well, erm Rhianna.  Ours are the original designs though.

SHOP is going on a wee holiday from 26th August - 11th September, so if you don't want to wait, get down here!  We're selling them for a fashion-for-all friendly £30! 

Here are the pics - get your orders in quick because they flew last time!

Exhibition: Secrets and Ciphers

This week in the Arts Space SHOP has been host to Stella Man and Jay Blackwood and their show Secrets and Ciphers.

Stella’s pen and ink drawings are a series of images and random thoughts embedded in the handmade paper.  They reveal themselves creating their own meaning. Her photographs focus in on everyday scenes, transforming them into something else.

Jay’s work is inspired by Surrealism and Outsider Art. Using found objects, toys, images and text his pieces are influenced by artists as diverse as Magritte, Duchamp and Cornell. Dark humour, the mining of repressed material, word-play, and the operations of objective chance come together in an enchanted, humorous and sometimes sinister world of assemblages and objects.

Here's some pics of the show:
