My favourite little boutique shop

Eikonoclast

I remember falling in love the minute I laid my eyes on Remus’ dreamlike window display. The prettiest objects I had ever seen were suspended on thin air above a magickal garden. I felt myself being pulled inside through irresistable scents and visions into a tiny little world of perfection. Each item inside has been carefully selected on tiny orders of sometimes just two or three from various artists and craftsmen around the world. And as renowned as Brighton is for its unusual boutique and gift shops, you won’t find Eikonoclast items anywhere else in Brighton. Remus hunts high and low to find the most exquisite and exclusive items. Most of the time I just pass by to press my nose up against his pristine windows and see which new visual treat he has created. The man is a genius when it comes to aesthetics and creates the best window displays you will ever see. And don’t get me started on his crystal jewellery…

Some of my favourite items: Subtle and traditional Japanese incense, Mariage Frères – the most delicious range of teas you will ever taste, notebooks covered in silk from wedding kimonos, screen printed orchid lampshades.

But please don’t stop here… take a peek inside!
