This jewel in Burlington Arcade’s crown is justly famed for its superior leather goods, which range from A-lister-worthy suitcases to a bound ‘A-Z’ and extend to the more unusual – such as a pigskin chess set. The elegant umbrellas are also worth a look (from £82.50 for a malacca-handled job).

I heard so much about Tatty Devine jewellery being really nice etc. that before spending my hard-earned cash on the lovely things featured on their website I decided to visit their Brick Lane shop. The shop is nice and small - but all jewellery is displayed under 3 glass countertops so can't touch and feel it. Unfortunately as I asked if I could have a look and try 2 necklaces the shop assistant was quite unfriendly and unhelpful (sighs, no eye contact, totally silent), and then she immedialtelyput the jewellery away before I could say or ask anything. Disappointed, but to make my visit worthwhile, I just quickly bought a single accessory (£26) I had picked on the website before coming but was not even offered to join their Customer Club (points earned every time you spend over £25). Needless to say I saved some money as I quickly left that shop... Although the accessories are truly gorgeous I have been very disappointed by the experience in there and would check their Soho branch next time - hopefully different.
