Galleria Conti

A friend of mine sings praises to this boutique in Clapham and she always wears unusual pieces from there. So I popped in last week to check them out. Galleria Conti sells gorgeous, wearable clothes from both well known brands like Maxmara Weekend, Farhi and hot fashion pieces from Luella, as well as quirky one offs. Their prices were a pleasant surprise, too. I've picked up a Farhi smock coat which I've been admiring in Selfridges, but at much better price. Alannah Hill and Nicole Miller dresses were to die for. A definite must for that special dress. Shop staff were lovely too, friendly, helpful and bags of style advice if you stuck for ideas. They also have an inhouse professional stylist. I shall be back. Thank you very much.

A fantastic little boutique on Battersea Rise - with brilliant personal service. I bought a gorgeous dress that needed altering. When the alterations weren't right, Marietta ordered me a brand new dress within days. She could not have been more helpful. I will definitely be back!
