When shopping I ask myself the question: «Do you need this or do you want it?» If the answer is want, I usually don’t buy it. This shop is a «want» shop. I want these things but I really don’t need them: wooden owls, trendy furniture, salt and pepper shakers that look like anything but, trendy desks, fashionable kitchenware etc. You get the picture. It’s a cute little shop though, spread over two small floors on Camden passage. Pop in and browse but whether you need any of this stuff is up to you.

Smug is one of those shops that makes you feel better just for a visit, as it’s full of neat little examples of brilliant design. Some is re-purposed vintage stuff, some is modern retro. For those with an eye for graphic design and a bit of space to put it in, it’s well worth a visit. Sky-high Islington prices, but deservedly so.
