Island & Republik

If ubiquitous IKEA furniture and household items are too passé for your liking, then Island & Republik should be your next port of call. Featuring high-end brands like Romo, Sandberg, Cole & Son, Given Campbell, Thomas Paul and Stroheim, the Plaza Damas stalwart specialises in all things home and fancy, including bespoke furniture, soft furnishings, carpets, rugs, tableware and lighting. Boasting a whimsical exterior reminiscent of London shoplots of yore, Island & Republik has been a favourite among new homeowners in the area since it first opened more than a decade ago.
