Thankyou, one and all….who came to our Design Festival Soiree! It’s always lovely to hear your feedback. We did particularly love the hysteria our Kid Leather Boots incurred in some of you….

Not that we’re one’s to start hanging the tinsel three months too early, but due to the fact that there’s been so many considerate husbands and boyfriends coming in recently, we’ve decided to make extra special gift vouchers in time for the festive season. Papier Mache Shoes! So, start dropping those hints….

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
At the Troxy in Bethnal Green in November. Anyone manage to get tickets? Nope, neither did we! Boo….

Fleetwood Mac reform!
Yes, after years of accidental Stevie Nicks hair, now the time has come for it to be emulated by the masses. A new album and tour -YES!- a tour early 2009!!!

It’s getting colder….
And we have our lovely boots in here at TN29. They were a big hit at the Design Festival Party so there’s only a few pairs left….hurry!

Dorian Gray
You MUST see this! A contemporary adaptation of the Oscar Wilde book we all love, this Michael Bourne production was possibly the best piece of contemporary dance TN29 has seen….completely emotive, it’s the physical feats of the dancers that make this production absolutely unforgettable.

(And, we’re most excited about Bourne’s production of Edward Scissor Hands at Christmas!)

Well, if you found the demise of her shop in Copenhagen difficult to take, you’ll be pleased to hear about her new website -Slow Fashion House. Here you can continue to buy her minimal yet exquisitely made clothes, as well as a few important extras from furniture, accessories, homewares, and shoes (yes, us!).

Nisennenmondaii (apparently means “Computer Bug Year 2000”)
Three Japanese girls playing guitar, bass and drums, purely instrumental and using strange noises. If you like Electreleane (a lazy comparison, sorry!) then these are the thing to listen to after Electrelane’s sad demise.

Ipso Facto
Another all girl band, this time from New Cross! Four talented ladies playing monochromed pyschedelia.

For all you design enthusiasts out there, we are happy to announce our official participation in the London Design Festival.

Adamant that 'we would never use shelving', we decided to join up with Muuto designer Pil Brendahl... famous for her shelving system? What is it that they say about facing your fears head on? Let the project begin and sorry about the shop whilst we transform it.

Guides to the two week design event will be kept at our shop if you wish to get your hands on a copy. There is some great stuff on that is really not to be missed. And according to the organizer’s of the festival themselves, we are on the top of things to see in the West End!
