THE SECRET ARCADE GETS FESTIVE....

It is a little early for Christmas perhaps, but there is a nip in the air and the folk at The Secret Arcade are getting festive.....the snow has fallen, the halls are decked and the windows have been dressed. And what better way to celebrate than with a treasure hunt?! For a limited period only, the shops along the arcade are offering a variety of discounts with xmas shoppers in mind; hidden in the wreaths above each of the shop doors is an offer, and our store is no exception. Enjoy some festive cheer and take a virtual walk around some of the boutiques and collect a variety of seasonal surprises along the way...

You can find our Dark Horse boutique in the jewellery passage. Happy hunting!

AUTUMN WINTER INSPIRATION

We can feel some glitter action coming on.....
Taking 1970's GLAM ROCK as my inspiration I naturally sought some fantastic fabric for the new collections and at a supplier in London's west end I happened upon an old colleague who now works as display manager there and she has very kindly sorted out these brilliant samples. Check out the spangles and the gorgeously murky metallics....I can't wait to turn these into some amazing accessories.
