John and Monique Davidson are known for their beautiful leather accessories and bags. Through the years, they have also created beautiful knitwear in the same classic fashion aesthetics - a fusion of English flair and French chic. I was sorry to see the shop leave from Ledbury road where individual boutiques seem to be increasingly replaced by high street brands, but they have now moved to hipper, cosmopolitan Golborne road. Each season, they come up with a small line of clothing which is now on a 25% sale in the shop.
They started with elegant handcrafted leather belts.
Small dagger belt, £109
Then they expanded into handbags, classic designs in luxurious leather .
Andrew bag, £309
Their knitwear that exudes the same effortless chic.
Milano Jacket, £287
Whilst leather goods and knitwear are NOT in the sale, the clothing collection is reduced by 25% IN THE SHOP only. The small collection features crisp broderie anglaise, pretty gingham and a lovely original print for dresses, tops and skirts. The tailoring is not particularly forgiving and favours slim rather than curvaceous figures, but the clothes will look great on the right 40+ woman.
Flower dress, from £499 to £374.
Angel dress, reduced from £450 to £338, also available in white.
Angel top, from £291 to £218 with Cricket trousers, from £353 to £265.
Pocket Grosgrain skirt, from £322 to £242. Also available in "flower" print (£347).
As style and exclusivity come at a price, the mid-season Summer sale is a good opportunity to visit the light and airy shop.
The shop is located at 97 Golborne road, W10 5NL - tel: 0208 969 22 44
