The First Edition; 5 Store, 5 Lessons.

Written By Lisa Carroll

After years of walking high streets with a trained eye (and tired feet), I’ve finally turned my camera roll and scribbled notes into something more permanent: a place to document, reflect and celebrate the best, and occasionally worst, of physical retail.

This first edition of Notes from the Shop Floor includes five store visits across Edinburgh, Newcastle and Glasgow, each offering something different, something worth noticing.

Inside this issue:

  • A calm and quietly confident flagship from ME+EM

  • Mediterranean ease and architectural confidence at Mango

  • New Balance’s premium take on performance retail

  • A heritage moment with Kiwi flair at Rodd & Gunn

  • A brief stop at & Other Stories, with gorgeous texture and tone

From stunning skylights to over-kill on screen takeovers, this is a look at retail from the ground up, focused on feeling, flow, and the details that make a difference.
