Coco Ribbon

Completely lovely in every way! The sales assistants are beautiful and un-​patronizing, the selection of clothes is fab (although I’m not paying £560 for a printed silk dressing gown and £50 for a matching eyemask). The décor is just heavenly, you’ll want to move in there or at least sit there for hours! Everything there is for sale, mirrors, tables, the garlands of butterflies everywhere — if you want it, you can have it! If you don’t buy an item of clothing or furniture, you can buy books and bath cupcakes and chocolate and CD’s Coco Ribbon in every girl’s tea-​party-​ish dream!

Coco Ribbon is no way cheap. It was my graduation ceremony, and I hadn’t thought about what I was going to wear for the event. Silly me, not thinking to go shopping in advance, I had to find the nearest boutique to grab a dress fast. Living in the Notting Hill area has its disadvantages if you’re not upper class. In a rush, I ended up purchasing a silk breasted dress for £300. It felt adorable on my skin, and I could feel the quality, but I was pretty damn sure I wasn’t going to shop here again. Coco Ribbon is a lovely store, painted white with silky divine dresses, which also sells furnishings and accessories for traditional to contemporary styled homes. The customer assistance is friendly here with pretty girls smiling at you and wanting to give you a hand. The shop came to power by two young female entrepreneurs, originally PR top executives, that pulled together roughly £37,000 each from their savings. And they’ve made a bomb ever since, which considering the wages for the majority of Notting Hill residence is no surprise. This place is absolutely plush and therefore, only if you are willing to spend in your hundreds can you earn a Coco Ribbon item.
