Anthropologie

The slighty-​faux-​boho older sister of Urban Outfitters. Anthropologie is a bit more sophisticated, has a real income, a «career path» and doesn’t mind splurging on a really nice glass of cabernet sauvignon.
So, if you shopped at Urban in your early 20’s, you’ll probably find yourself liking Anthropologie. It’s more expensive, the colors more muted, the fabrics higher end, the décor is fit for a proper flat, not a dorm room and you’ll probably be somewhat enamored with their sense of style.
This particular location in Spitalfields is nice, right next to COS and a nice departure from the market if you are looking for a more traditional retail experience with fitting rooms, etc. I buy a few things online from Anthro every once in awhile and just return whatever doesn’t fit to this store, so I find it convenient.
Their returns are super fast (you don’t even need the card you paid with) and painless. The store is well laid out, busy on weekends. Usually I try not to shop here because everything is full price and will eventually be on sale via the website. So… there you have it!
