RSPV

Rather like a posh version of east London's Hackney Shop, RSPV sells designer pieces from seasons of yore with around 80 per cent off their original prices - giving one label a month of exclusive tenure. The elegantly designed boutique is the project of stylist Pippa Vosper, and her own luxury tastes and enviable black book mean a stellar line up of designers are already on the agenda. Currently in store is high-end folky label Vilshenko, whose beautifully embellished maxi dresses start at £140 and reach £400, reduced from £1,400. Hey, we never said it was Poundland.
