We have been working on something VERY SPECIAL. This winter, solidarity looks like a visit to the Choose Love department store at our incredible new home on Regent Street, right by Oxford Circus. We open on Friday 29th November, and we can’t wait to see you.

We are so excited to also be collaborating with the brilliant team at Empathy Museum again, offering you the chance to walk a mile in the shoes of someone who has experienced forced displacement, while listening to their story (or you can listen from the comfort of the store).
