With
over 3000 brands and 17 restaurants, bars and cafes, there is no
need to visit London village (as Marc & Lard call it), Paris,
Milan or New York to stock up in the latest in cutting edge fashion.
We are the only city in the world that can boast two Selfridges
store less than 10 miles apart.
Exchange
Square |
My
favourite store is the Exchange Square Selfridges and I have been
known to spend two to three hours just in the food hall - in Tampopo,
when money is tight, and the Oyster & Champagne Bar when somebody
else is paying. By the way, the coffee bar is just to die for!
Maharishi,
LK Bennett, Balenciaga (what Kylie wears!) have all set up residency
here, so it was no surprise when I once found myself rubbing shoulders
with David and Victoria (Mr & Mrs Beckham to you) at Trafford
centre Selfridges, and then on another occasion at the Exchange
Square Selfridges - on both occasions trying to do some serious
damage to their credit cards!
Which
is usually what I have to do to my credit cards by taking a pair
of scissors to them, whenever I have been on one of my infamous
binges at the store. Take last month for example I got carried away
and ended up spending two months' wages on one (as in single!) handbag.
Needless to say, I have been too scared to be seen in public ever
since with the handbag lest some drunken fool should spill their
cheap lager all over it, plus I haven't yet found shoes to match.
Talking
of shoes, when is Manolo Blahniks going to open up in Manchester?
Maybe Harvey Nics. will do us the honour. If they do, then my fave
Dept store will be quickly revised.
Watch
this space.
