WE LIVE HERE TOO AND WE LIKE IT: KATRINA PHILLIPS

ITS BEEN CALLED 'THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SHOP IN LONDON' AND ITS PRETTY EASY TO SEE WHY. WITH HER INCREDIBLE EYE FOR HUMBLE ANTIQUES AND SUBLIME OBJETS, BOTH NATURAL AND MADE, KATRINA'S SHOP IS AS ORGANIC AND ECLECTIC  AS THE CRYSTALS AND CANDLES WHICH SHE STOCKS. AND SO WE ARE HONORED TO HAVE ALIX OF BOHEMIA STOCKED HERE; NAMELY 
THE CAMELIA BLOUSE. 

A PEEK INSIDE MS. PHILLIPS WORLD:
ABOVE, THE MOST FABULOUS FLOOR, LAID BY KATRINA'S DAD IN THE 1960'S.
GIANT CLAMSHELL FOSSILS, MARBLE TRAYS AND BUDDHA, BELOW
GEORGIAN SOFAS, SHELL GARLANDS, A STATUE AND PAINTINGS BY PHILLIPE BONNET:
THE MOST DIVINE NUBIAN WHO ONCE HELD UP A LIGHT ON THE RIVER SEINE IN THE GREAT EXHIBITION OF 1855 IN PARIS:
THE  ALIX OF BOHEMIA CAMELIA BLOUSES HANG FROM A FANTASTICAL MIRROR:


KATRINA SAYS "THIS IS NOT A NORMAL SHOP YOU KNOW",
INDEED, ITS MUCH MUCH BETTER (AND SMELLS DELICIOUS).
COME AND SEE US AT 99 PORTOBELLO RD. KATRINA WILL AMUSE AND DELIGHT YOU; WE'VE DECIDED WE WOULD LIKE TO GET MARRIED TO HER IF IT MEANS WE CAN STAY.
