the dulwich trader

Love this shop. Very middle class but so what! The products are great! Wish there were more local shops like this

When I walked in this shop, I had no intention of spending money. I also had no intention of becoming really, extremely, mucho grande famous, but I did. I was out on an errand to find some grazing for the noontime meal. My coworker, who loves this place, told me to poke in the Trader and see what it’s all about. (It’s all about the hokey pokey.)
This place has tons of nice things from silly prank toys to mugs to baubles and bangles. Things are a bit pricey, I must admit, but its all damn cute like those little puppies you see on calenders, except for less fuzzy. I ended up buying a present for a friend of mine. It was a mug, or maybe it was a mugshot. Maybe I should put a mugshot of my mug on the mug, and refrain from telling you what the mug said, but I won’t hold you in suspense. The mug said «I’d rather be making whoopie.» I thought she’d like it.
The place also has clothes which are not as special as they should be for what their charging. If there were charging bulls, I might call it justified. I also might hightail it outta there. The only bulls there though are inanimate decoration on things being sold.
You can find gifts to suit any taste here — bitter, sweet, sour, salty and more — but you might have to spend a pound or two or few more than dirt cheap.

The Dulwich Trader has the prestigious role of providing Dulwich with pretty much everything it needs. From dresses to shoes, hand cream to jewellery, home furnishings to mugs, quirky gifts, cards and wrapping paper.
The clothing in particular is aimed at women in their 30’s and 40’s but if you like beautiful things then there is plenty here.
The prices differ, with things to suit most budgets but their sales are fantastic.
Excellent for buying presents for others, or for yourself.
