They basically cut out the crap and sell the good shit actual artists want at a decent price. They do still carry nicer student watercolors (like Cotman) if you just want something to mess around with out in the city but professional level isn't what you're after.

The items also felt slightly dated and tended to lean towards certain characters like cinnamoroll with very little selection of black hello kitty or my melody. I half expected that Artbox would have a similar check out process to Japan, in which you received a small hello kitty bag tag on your bag and was disappointed when there wasn't. All in all, the items I purchased were adorable but the selection is small so if you drop in I'd recommend keeping expectations low.

There were some items I've never seen in LA or maybe I don't shop for these little things so I wouldn't know. Honestly, everything was on the pricy side. That was kind of expected. But a piece of KitKat for 1gpb20? Uh...no, I'll pass. Thank you though. It was still nice to look at it. :)

Ashtrays, prints of Marilyn Monroe, games, keychains, tapestries, candles, incense, buttons, mugs; you name it they claim it. When I need to get a gift for someone I come here to buy it. Finding something cool here is guaranteed.

I tried it on and was perfect, they ensure that had everything I need to look the best, a crown, makeup, playing card stockings, heart stickers the works.

Of course the prices are nothing comparable what you could bargain for in Shepherds Bush. However, you know exactly what content the fabric is and you have a deep as well as wide selection. If you wonder what the big brown paper bags with the art deco face on it is - the brand mark of Cloth House unmistakable!

There were many photo opportunities and lots of demonstrations as well. The sales people worked for the store and there was no pressure at all.

There is also a cotton candy machine where you can watch it being made through the glass, all automated. We somehow left without purchasing anything due to our inability to take it back home.

Little background story to explain why I needed a stamp made in the first place:…read more I wanted to create an online account with a recruiting website, but they wouldn't recognise our company as legit unless we could provide them with a fax that had been stamped with a company stamp! "Are you serious?" I almost yelled at them, but then reconsidered and just decided to let it go and get a company stamp. This is when I discovered this little niche-store in Bloomsbury. The service was impeccable and also the making of the stamp was a breeze: I simply had to email them the design and I received a confirmation email within a few hours! The stamp was ready only 2 days afterwards....very good experience. (An image of the stamp that I received is uploaded to this business profile.)

He responded right away with a price which I then agreed to, and, in a couple of days, I went in to pick up the stamp. (They offer a delivery service, too.)
