In Dickens’ The Old Curiosity Shop, the wheels of calamity were set in motion when the protagonist’s grandfather borrowed money he couldn’t pay back.

Curated by Marsu Homme and a gaggle of the label’s way-hip designer and artist friends including Beat Poet, Saint Augustine Academy, Elke Kramer, Matt Weston and Izrock, this new curiosity shop has the goods to cast a whole new generation into financial peril.

Or should that be FURTHER into financial peril?**Either way, goodies such as new and vintage objects, accessories, jewellery, shoes, clocks that go backwards and customised retro hipster glasses are a sample of our next two months’ temptations.

Thankfully, specials like two-for-one Marsu Homme shoes means this curiosity shop doesn’t have to end in madness and death. Just stay away from malicious, hunchbacked dwarf money lenders.
