Shop the January sales with The Marylebone
The best of the bargains
There is no better place to be staying than The Marylebone when it comes to London's January Sales. Here we highlight the shops to look out for
Womenswear
The American label favoured by Michelle Obama has taken Britain by storm since opening this side of the pond. Selling own-label designs and stocking pieces from partnerships with other designers J Crew never fails to disappoint. As an added bonus The Marylebone has team up with J Crew to offer guests complimentary personal styling sessions, plus 20% off items in the store. To top it all off, your parcels will be delivered straight to your room so no need to lug all those buys around with you.
Before Net a Porter there was MatchesFashion.com, and it’s a testament to its style that, some 25 years later, the company is still going strong and has opened four shops around London. Its Marylebone High Street outpost sells men’s and womenswear, displayed beautifully and expertly manned by fashion gurus who will help you pick out the best of the sales pieces.
Whistles is one of the most admired shops on the high street, having created its own niche bridging the gap between more affordable and designer labels. Pieces from Whistles are a mix of timeless wardrobe staples and stand-out for special occasions. Its sales are notoriously good, you’ll be sure to snap up a bargain here.
Agnès B one of Marylebone High Street’s longest standing boutiques, having taken pride of place on the corner of Devonshire Street and Marylebone High Street since 1999. The shop sells womenswear, menswear and children’s clothes, as well as gifts. The company began with Agnès opening her first store in New York, combining art and fashion and making the space a gallery/boutique rather than just about clothes, and this ethos is still reflected in her London shops.
Brora’s cashmere is second to none in the UK. It comes in the most beautiful, original colours, current designs and flattering cuts, plus – key to a really good cashmere jumper – it doesn’t bobble. Snap up a pair of seriously soft bed socks, gloves, hats, children’s clothes and plenty of chic knitwear.
It might not quite be the weather for French Sole’s delicate ballet shoes, but come spring you will be thrilled with your purchase. A pair of the shop’s pumps will be found in every fashionista’s wardrobe, they’re timeless and elegant paired with casual jeans or a long dress for something smarter. Best of all, they’re fabulously comfortable.
