Dummy me, I input the wrong date in my calendar for the press preview of FAO’s pop-up Christmas shop and went a day early. So I missed some refreshments and maybe a small goodie bag or some such. Oh well. What I got instead was the place to myself and a friendly reception. I got an eye full of crafty gift ideas too.
FAO is an online concept store retailing a curated selection of high-end fashion accessories, art and objects from the “finest independent and emerging designers” from across the globe. From now until the 29th of December, you can see some of the highlights of the FAO range offline and in-store at their Marylebone pop-up shop.
For the best in Fashion – Art – Object shopping, the tiny FAO Xmas Shop is a smart place to keep in mind. With those and lots of other Christmassy and Christmas gift-y items for budgets on either extreme of the price spectrum (and plenty more in between), I might have even found a stocking stuffer or two there myself.
Things that struck my fickle fancy include Kidsonroof’s Totem Xmas Tree (£27.50) and Decode’s Table Vessel Light (£228). If anything catches your eye, keep in mind that FAO is offering £10 off when you spend £100 or more. For online shoppers, enter this code: NEWS10
FAO Xmas Shop is located at 22 New Cavendish Street, W1G 8TT. More online at fao-shop.com.
