NEW FOLK STORE


Folk has opened its second store in the Old Truman Brewery in the East end of London. Over two floors, the 1000 square foot store takes many of the design features from its flagship store on Lambs Conduit Street..   .
The 12 foot ceilings are used to their full benefit with one wall in the store having floor to ceiling storage for the shoe range with an old library style ladder providing access.

The use of an old gym horse for seating and display in the back of the store and colourful milk churns for seating give a nod to Folk’s tongue in cheek attitude.   Fold out benches on either side of the entrance complements the welcoming approach as does there being no counter to split the staff from the public with customers paying via handheld card machines.

In addition to its own collections the store will stock selected other brands including Humanoid, Sessun and Won Hundred for Women and Hill-side ties and Feiyue sneakers for men.
