"It might not be a long period to be in a shop, in a pop-up shop, but the reality of being here kind of becomes the seed from which they will grow... the exposure, the traffic on Oxford Street is phenomenal."
Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen and all those who visited over the 4 days of opening.
