One of the world’s most celebrated and storied cities, London should not surprise anybody, especially those who call the city home. But it does. One of London’s beautiful little secrets is its boutiques. Originated from French, meaning the plebeian shop, London gave boutique the pizzaz and class people associate with it today, when many independent fashion boutiques opened in Carnaby in the 60’s. However, there is something missing in all the buzz. As a rueful American writer Norman McClean would say: ‘A river does not run through it.”

Situated steps away from a scenic bend of River Thames, Literally at the choke point of the historic Richmond bridge, its great street appeal gives life and energy to one of London’s most fashionable districts.

Our idea of a boutique is a highly individualized experience, an experience transcending shopping. Visiting a boutique should be an experience of discovery. Not only you discover exquisite fashion items you cannot find anywhere else, but you also allow your discovery to awaken a part of you. An experience of subtle but indelible joy. That is the mood we would like our boutique to evoke. That is the reason we custom-designed the interior of the boutique to give it an individuality you cannot find anywhere else in London.

The products we offer are integral to our goal to give our customers a total experience of happiness, gentle surprises, and relish of luxury. Our main line is fine leather handbags. Their evocative Italian design and sumptuous Italian leather give you a wide choice of styles to satisfy your need and personality, with a quality and workmanship that rival the top brands. Visit us. We do not work to make you convinced of what we say, but to make you happy with what we offer.

Any venture owes its success to its people. We take pride in the people who are behind Exquisites London. Every member of our team has an interesting story about his or her involvement. Visit our Features page for the human stories and how they intersected to give life to Exquisites London.

A good business is part of its community. We take pride in Richmond and London. Giving our neighbors and fellow residents fabulous fashion products is our business. Giving back to the community is our pleasure and responsibility. We have a charitable contribution programme through which you can direct a percentage of your purchase as contribution to a charitable cause. We are also active in promoting Richmond and our local business partners.

Our vision of a boutique is not static retail. We have access to some of the most creative designers and world’s most advanced factories for fine leather products. A major advantage we have over the top brands is that our products are not limited by ‘seasons’. Our roll-out frequency is much higher. An essential element in our product development is listening to the want and desire of our customers. If you do not find products in the boutique that meet your needs, we would appreciate your kindness of letting us know what your needs are. Then we can work to meet them.

In our fast-paced economy, technologies come and go but people’s need for beauty has remained a constant. The misguided notion that fashion is fickle should be checked against this comparison: typewriters, an essential equipment of business 30 years ago, have become museum pieces, while shoes have maintained their basic design for more than 300 years, and billions are sold every year. Like River Thames that flows nearby, at Exquisite London, we strive for the timeless quality of all things that are beautiful.
