There are people in this world who hoard anything from the colourfully absurd to the handy gadget. There comes a point in these people’s lives when their living room is brimming with 76 teacups, 48 lamps and 8 too many clocks on one wall. Do they pack all of their collectables into a box and plod down to their local Salvos? Or do they open their own business?
Case Study: Cath and Harvey let their accumulated kitsch homewares spill out of their living room and into a little store in Westgarth,naming it after their favourite song, ‘Know Your Product’, by ‘70s punk band The Saints. During their late trading hours, the duo sort their items into clusters of colour, just like dividing the pink Smarties from the blue ones.
Give yourself a good few hours to trawl this store. It may be small,but one lap of the shop won't be enough to examine every blue, green, pink and orange tea set. Then there are Polaroid cameras, Casio watches and the staple-less stapler to amuse you. You read correctly, a stapler WITHOUT staples. Ingenious.
