Contemporary Vintage

Sounds like a contradiction in terms right?  But when you see our theme working together in our feature shop window, we think you'll see what we mean.  
The Vintage Collection of Decorations, Lanterns and products is a stunning range for all vintage and curios enthusiasts.

We have a brilliant collection of gift ideas as well as a great collection of quirky Baubles working together in this theme.  

Tis the season to get married!

We are celebrating the season of love & marriage with a wedding inspired window courtesy of 2 of Archway's finest talents. Our brides shoes are designed and made by Harriet Wilde the luxury London footwear label, established in 2008 by designer, Ruth Shaw & our bride wears a vintage wedding dress on loan from Yuksel of Resurrection Boutique.

Ruth Shaw decided to create her own collection of wedding footwear after searching for the perfect pair to accompany her own original vintage wedding dress - she was looking for  something less ‘fluffy’, more stylish - named after her great grandmother, the Harriet Wilde collection offers brides a vintage-inspired aesthetic with a touch glamour, and superior European craftsmanship.  Her second collection was snapped up by Harrods and she is now the go to bridal brand of royalty and celebrities. Services include: a ready to wear collection, customization and a bespoke service. You can book an appointment to try the shoes from her London studio , or buy online, The London showroom is at:-

We have some great ideas for gifts for everyone - guests and the special couple themselves!  Our Carnival letter lights not only make a fantastic gift but can make a statement on the day itself!  Particularly if the wedding has a vintage theme.

Coasters & Placemats make great gifts and props too - some friends of Map Gift Shop sent us this brilliant picture from their wedding at St John's Tavern!

The totally cool new range from PiP Studio Royal 'white' makes a great Wedding Gift!  A timelessly stylish take on the blue 'willow pattern' - I love the placement of the imagery and the subtlety of this range! It sits perfectly as accent pieces alongside any set of white china!

We've introduced another light letter to the range with these neon letters from Italian Lighting Designers Seletti.  Inspired by classic typography they add bright, quirky style to any setting. Whether used as a simple monogram or to spell out words, these are perfect for creating statement lighting displays that will get people talking - individual letters cost £39, but it should be noted that letters require a transformer which costs a further £55 which will power up to 3 letters. Letters can be easily clipped together to make up words - we are offering "love" for at the amazing price of £200 including adapter!  

and if that's all a little too rich for your budget - fear not!  You can declare your love (or any other message you fancy) with these fantastic scrabble tile coasters at an affordable £3.50 each.
