For a small side street in Islington, Cross Street packs in quite a collection of cool brands and cute boutiques that draw fashion-conscious shoppers away from nearby Upper Street. And among them is fashion sales and marketing agency Paper Mache Tiger’s HQ and concept store, a beautifully curated collection of homewares, houseplants, beauty products, accessories and clothing, including their own cult labels Être Cécile and Herculie. Next to the store’s artisan coffee shop, this sky-lit shop share space is waiting for creative and stylish brands to join the store’s great range of ideas.

THE CROWD

Whether it’s luxury perfume from Le Labo, or premium paint from Farrow & Ball, stylish, affluent locals come to Cross Street’s shops with something in mind. And Paper Mache Tiger is no exception, attracting a cool-hunting crowd looking for high-end clothing and ideas to make their homes even more special. Weekends are when you’ll see the most people here; weekdays can be quiet, although you’ll see a few people make their way here at lunchtime.

Next door but one is No. 20, a centre for contemporary arts. Fired Earth and Farrow & Ball are nearby; Aesop, Le Labo and Être Cécile’s first standalone boutique are further up the street.
