High Tea with Mrs Woo

High Tea with Mrs Foo is a clothing store that is unrivalled for offering classic, romantic, nostalgia-​inspired clothes with a modern twist. The clothes are described by the owners as «charming, thoughtful, and everlasting» which is an extremely apt description that you’ll be able to verify once you step into their store. Aside from their unique clothing, they also offer accessories, homewares, and ceramics that are in line with the store’s philosophy. While other clothing stores are stacked to the nines full of clothes, this store has elegance in its design and setup. Shopping here is a novelty that you’ll rarely experience in stores nowadays and you’ll leave happier because of the excellent products they offer.

Chances are, if you’ve worked your way down Oxford street at least once, you’ve noticed this spirited little shop. With its classic white shopfront and catchy little name, High Tea With Mrs Woo breathes a bit of personality into that particular stretch of the Paddington shopping district.
There’s little not to love about the styling and theming in Mrs Woo, except for maybe the prices. Florals and lace abound, as well as some special home décor and gift items.
I particularly enjoyed the stationary sets with rubber stamps fit to create an invite the queen herself wouldn’t be able to turn down. I’ve seen the merchandise elsewhere, but it does fit nicely with everything else in the shop.
I have to say I was a little disappointed, however, that the store wasn’t more unique. Its outward appearance made me some strict promises that it couldn’t quite keep. But not to say it wasn’t lovely. It was quite nice, indeed. Whoever Mrs Woo is, I might very much enjoy the opportunity to have tea with her some afternoon; especially in the backyard garden of her darling little shop.
