Thor & Wistle Store – Shoreditch, London
Last week Thor & Wistle threw an intimate little party at their Shoreditch store to celebrate their 2nd birthday, with beer, and the most delicious burgers, plus a chance to browse the new collections, it was the perfect excuse for us to head down to finally check out the store & fawn over their beautiful wares, I wanted to take the whole place home!
Set up in 2012, the store is a collaborative project between Kamilla Thorsen and Rachel Entwistle, acting as both a studio for the pair & their respective brands, Dynasty & Rachel Entwistle Jewellery & also as a showcase for emerging talent stocking some of the best up & coming UK jewellery brands, including Kasun, Tessa Metcalfe & Ros Millar.
The store itself has a wonderful curiosity shop kind of feel – jewels draped over antlers, old fashioned display cabinets showcasing beetle & bone rings like scientific specimens, mounted butterflies & vintage mannequins, it sets the perfect atmosphere, perfectly complimenting the selection of brands and makes browsing a real treat, peering into the cases it feels as though you’re unearthing rare little trinkets from days gone by. I couldn’t recommend paying them a visit more.

I love how simple, almost dainty, yet still edgy these pieces are!

What a beautiful store! I see so many pieces that I want, I don’t usually wear earrings but I really love the look of the ones featured here. I can see you wearing so many of these designs as well! x

This is such a beautiful shop! It really does feel like a curiosity cabinet with those gorgeous old vitrines and cabinets. I’d love to display my jewellery like this. I shall definitely pay them a visit next time I’m in Shoreditch!

It looks like a really great event and experience! I mean, how awesome is the fact that they hosted an event with beer and burgers- sounds so cool to me! :)
The collection truly looks splendid- I really like how they displayed all the jewelry- that makes the jewelry to stand a lot more!
I think that this brand is right up in your style alley, I can definitely see you wearing a lot of those pieces!

Irresistible! It does appear like a curiosity shop. The displays add a mysterious quality.

Wow I wish I could just get in my car and drive there. What a fabulously styled store. I mean that presentation is just stunning. I’m especially loving that little case displaying smaller pieces on a bed of black pebbles(?), I just want to run my hands through it. Weird, I know, I have a thing with touching stuff. It’s even worse when I’m in an art gallery.
