Browns East, London

Housed in a former print factory in London’s grungy Shoreditch neighbourhood, Brown’s East is fashion retail platform Farfetch’s first bricks and mortar store. Inside, the boutique curates a mix of established and emerging fashion labels alongside a gallery of rotating artwork. While the store – which offers a mix of established and emerging fashion labels – itself is a tangible entity, it will not stay in one location for long. Instead, it is the first of a series of semi-permanent, nomadic retail concepts set to roam various neighbourhoods.
