Just a note that they have now moved to 41B Antill Rd, London N15 4AS, in Tottenham.

Fascinating to see what lies behind the shopfront … I remember it from when I lived at Clapton Pond and I’d get the 48 or 55 bus home sometimes. I left England in 2008 but this blog helps keep me connected and for that I remain ever grateful.

I went there yesterday and the Whitechapel branch is closed at the moment due to lack of staff during the pandemic but the Tottenham branch is still open, and you can get stuff on line (not the same as touching and feeling the merchandise, and exploring the Aladdin’s cave though!)

GA – please keep a local eye on the situation and let us know when it re-opens – thank you.

Let’s ALL try to patronise these amazing small shops, so many of which have gone, or are going.

Who wants to have to shop on Amazon??

Thank you GA for telling us about places we would never have found otherwise…

I love these posts you run about really interesting people running these enterprises everybody needs and which most people never think about! I mean, where else can we get our zippers, right?

And the work ethic! What great guys and gals!

My idea of heaven! A real treasure trove, although I was very sad to read about their arson attack.

Wonderful! I could spend all day in this shop. What a brilliant family business.

Thank heavens I don’t live in London, or else I’d be camping out there.

I could get lost in a shop like this for days! Hope they stay in business for many years!

“Beam me up, Scotty……..”. If ONLY I could travel to the trimmings shop today — and bring every one of my mixed media colleagues from all over the US. We would swarm over the place, raise an uproar, empty our wallets, and return home with happy purchases. (I enjoyed the reader’s comment: “buy tons of stuff I would never use”.) During the lockdown I’ve made sure to actually USE all the stuff I have been gathering for years.

The trimmings shop (and brilliant owners) = Irresistible!

I will share this post with all my textile-loving colleagues.
Thanks, GA, for shining a light.
