The new Folk store is open

We have just opened our second store in the Old Truman Brewery in the East end of London.

Over two floors, the 1000 square foot store takes many of the design features from our flagship store on Lambs Conduit Street providing a complementary environment to Folk’s menswear range and shoes for men and ladies.   The attention to detail and quirky touches that defines the product is evident throughout the store with rope hung strip lights running the full length of the store, reclaimed wood clads the back walls and stairs and marble heads designed by acclaimed sculptor Paul Van Stone provide a novel approach to seating.

The 12 foot ceilings are used to their full benefit with one wall in the store having floor to ceiling storage for the shoe range with an old library style ladder providing access.   

The use of an old gym horse and colourful milk churns give a nod to our tongue in cheek attitude.   Fold out benches on either side of the entrance complements the welcoming approach as does there being no counter to split the staff from the public with customers paying via handheld card machines.

In addition to our own collections the store will stock selected other brands including Humanoid, Sessun and Won Hundred for Women and Hill-side ties and Feiyue and New Balance sneakers for men.
