One of Cornwall's, if not Britain's, hidden gems…read more Excellent shop for browsing and getting the odd, elusive item. Vintage clothes and period items are in abundance here. If one falls asleep on a southwesterly-bound railway service, one will awaken in Penzance, an unremarkable town save for this little emporium. As well as the staple variety of ladies' and gentlemen's attire, Mr Lucas peddles essential home furnishings such as stuffed birds, antlers and ancient radiograms.

I found this place by accident - and my eyes almost popped out of their sockets. I know they've a…read morebig online presence but I'm talking about their 'bricks' premises. For starters when you get there you have to walk up a flight of very utilitarian stairs before you see anything to write home about but once you go into their enormous hall of mountains of fabrics in edible colours, I warn you, you'll be like a little kid in Santas Grotto.

It took all my effort to tear myself away. I thought places like this only existed in America....TG we have this........a real emporium!

The staff are very friendly and helpful with queries on things like patterns and they also have an amazing selection of offcuts.

We have had excellent service from Julia at JR Interiors, both in our own home and in our holiday…read morecottages. She has offered advice and brought along samples of fabric and basically there is nothing she won't tackle, from rebuilding a broken armchair to completely refurbishing a whole interior with blinds, curtains, furniture covers, cushions, arm caps, headboards and even muslin curtains to cover our glass conservatory roof. In fact, if there is anything that needs doing in the home, we immediately ring Julia as she is guaranteed to come up with an idea, however challenging the project and everything she does is absolutely first class. We highly recommend JR Interiors and so do the owners of our holiday cottages who have been delighted with her work.
