On the weekends, I frequented the elite area surrounding Sloan Street. I found fun in ogling at the high-end designer collections displayed in the windows and watching drivers carry out dozens of bags from Chanel and Prada.

After sadly passing several stores out of financial reach, the subtle, light pink Browns sign caught my eye and I soon found myself in a wonderland of Lanvin, Marios Schwab and Stella McCartney.

Browns has been a landmark in London since opening in the early 70’s and has expanded over the years to cater everyone’s fashion needs. Today around central London you’ll find Browns Men, Browns Bride, Browns Labels for Less, Browns Shoes, Browns Focus, and my personal favorite, Browns Sloane Street. Browns combines the accoutrements of a luxury department store with the quaintness of a historical boutique. www.brownsfashion.com
