If you’ve seen something a very contemporary chair, lighting fixture or ornament recently in a design show or magazine, likelihood is Indish will have it, or something very close to it. It carries products by all the top contemporary home and kitchen designers like Phillipe Starck and Alessi, so yes, it may be overpriced, but this store is for the home what Gucci is for the figure. I may not be able to afford most of it, but I can still dream can’t I? They do have some rather beautiful and ergonomically designed home accessories though, which make perfect wedding or Christmas gifts. They’ve also got an Oyster card wallet which has the entire tube map on it for £5.50. I bought one of these for myself, I still struggle with where to change!

Crouch End is full of these funky little design shops. If I had the spare cash or room in my flat I would like to think I am cool enough to have some of these pieces in my house. This is a great shop for interior decorators who might know just exactly what to do with these funky pieces. The idea behind Indish is to have unique designs that are pleasing to the eye but functional as well. It has been open since 1996, which is a bit young for Crouch End. Truthfully I don’t know who needs to spend £77 on a toilet brush and holder, but its nice to browse in to while away a Saturday afternoon.

Indish has some interesting stuff but it is very overpriced. I loved looking around this store, particularly the dishware. Sometimes I could not see the attraction(a cup on a glass stand?) but sometimes this store hits it right on the head. For instance there was a nice teapot with a warming jacket that zips up that I really liked, some see through chairs, and potato masher with a rubber handle. I would say though that this store is very overpriced and takes advantage of it’s location.

This store is totally cool. They sell an iced drink bottle. You stick this bottle type thing in the fridge and then it freezes in it’s ice tray part of it so you can have an iced drink! Iced Tea for moi? I was also into«Make Your Own Vodoo» doll. I have some people who deserve to ache every time I stick the pin in. Ha. Indish really looks and smells beautiful inside. I looked around and I hate housewares but I did this shop because it is so nicely laid out! Even I appreciate it! The home oils didn’t hurt either. :)
