Barnett Lawson

I had to go to London last week to have a dentist check up on my recent oral surgery and decided I needed a treat, so I planned a first time visit to Barnett Lawson a trimmings shop that is tucked away in a basement just off Oxford street.

What a gem of a shop (Gok uses it!) the sales ladies were really friendly and although they cater for a lot of wholesale customers they were interested in what I was going to do with my treasures, and you can buy small quantities of some items.

They let me take lots of pictures to share with you all, so I hope you enjoy!.

















If You get a chance to visit i definitely recommend it

    Sounds like a real little treasure of a shop ... it's so hard to find anything like it round my way so most of my haberdashery buying is done via t'internet.

    looks a fab place to visit. I'm such a newbie when it comes to sewing that I have hardly any haberdashery stuff. Must sort that out! I need a starter pack I think as I'd have no idea what to buy and what to use it for.

    Thanks for the comment on my blog btw.

    Amazing! I had a terrible shock when my favourite fabric and trimmings shop grew a huge banner proclaiming 'liqudation totale' this week (which means 'everything must go', more or less). I was divided between panicking that it was going to close down, and thinking I had to rush in and buy the entire stock. In fact, it's just 'avant travaux', so they are just clearing out before some development work. Phew. The only drawback is that I've flown to Edinburgh for a week and I don't know how much of their clearance stock will be left by the time I get back...

    Thanks for your photos of this incredible shop!

    Sounds fab, my friend and I are planning a trip to London together in the next couple of weeks for this sort of thing so I think I'll have to add this shop to our list to visit!
