Never shopped this brand before but had seen it around in the USA stores. The clothing without a…read moredoubt was spot on to my style of dressing. Once I entered the store I was not only warmly greeted but it was genuine. In fact it wasn't one sales associate but all of them. That alone made me want to shop. I tried on several items and left with a pair of black python looking straight leg pants. Also wanted one of their signature vinyl bags but which one I loved them all! So I got a black with their signature floral print. Signature as ai tried a blouse and t shirt with the print but of course it looked better on the bag than on me.

I asked the associate a favor please go through my British Pounds and I will pay the difference on my credit card.

This store is definitely smaller than their two story store in Oxford that we got to visit early in my trip, but there was plenty of gifts to select from for kids. As this store is in the airport, it is tax free, so their prices are lower than their High Street prices. It was so hard to choose as they had so many cute stuff, but I settled on a fabric, not plastic, backpack for my niece. It's printed with red telephone boxes and Buckingham Palace guards. She'll love it! My nephew will be starting kindergarten very soon, so I got him a pencil case with a similar design as my niece's backpack. I also got a small backpack key chain for my friend's daughter. They do have stuff for adults as well--bags for all purposes, hand creams and lotions and travel accessories. Some have classic London icons on them, but this is so tastefully done that they don't look like tacky, as lots of souvenirs can be. If you're paying by credit card, you can choose to pay by GBP or USD. Many stores in London and beyond offer this service and I find that the exchange rate that they give you is pretty competitive, around 1.32. This would definitely be the way to go if your card charges a foreign exchange fee. Mine doesn't so it may be that my credit card may have a better exchange rate than the store's bank. You can also also choose to pay in USD cash. So if you need to shop for more gifts, stop by here!

Even just getting a taste of Harrods, I can see why people love this posh department store. I checked out Harrods before catching my flight and was happy to see all the merchandise they had, especially since it's just an airport location, so the inventory is limited. But it was nice to see the designers they offered here, and since I love Tory Burch, they had an entire section just for Tory Burch. The staff were super friendly and even told me what products would be cheaper to get back home versus in London, so it wasn't all about them making money. I ended up getting a Tory Burch card wallet and they escorted me to the other section of Harrods where they offered more of their gift items. This was perfect as I was able to get some gifts for loved ones. Glad I was able to get a glimpse of Harrods, a London specialty.
