Harrods ‘pop-up’

The Harrods J smith Esquire ‘pop-up’ is installed.

To mark the event there is a very special collection of unique pieces alongside the ‘Couture botanicals’ collection and a selection of pieces from each collection made especially for Harrods. If you cant make it down in the next couple of weeks, not to worry as they will be on sale until the end of June.
