Getting there: Nearest tube – Oxford Circus
Terry de Havilland, rock ‘n’ roll cobbler and all round Le Blow fave is back in town. Like, LIDERALLY.
With a pop-up shop off Carnaby Street in the Newburgh Quarter, it’s the first time Terry has owned a shop since he (sadly) closed the doors to his renowned Cobblers to the World shop in 1979:
It’s an area that epitomises the spirit of London style and I can’t think of a more perfect place to be. It’s been over 30 years since I last had a flagship store and I can’t wait to show it off.
Shoes for sale will include designs covering de Havilland’s six-decade-long career, from signature styles like the Margaux (my personal fave), through to pointy Winkle Pickers, blingin’ Brothel Creepers, psychedelic platform wedges and sexy spring-o-lator stilletos. WANT. THEM. ALL.
The interior is inspired by the silver décor of Andy Warhol’s New York factory by Harper Downie architect Graham Erickson.
With the orig Primrose Hill set – Kate Moss, Sadie Frost and Noel Gallagher – reuniting for the glitzy store opening last week, seems the rock ‘n’ roll cobbler is already living up to his rep. Here’s hoping this pop-up shop becomes a permanent one…
Hot foot it (oof) to Cobblers to Carnaby St! or visit tdhcouture.com for more info.
