About us-Emporium of Wonders

Emporium: The concept of Discovery

Emporiums were fascinating places to browse. They were curiosity shops full of unusual and fantastic finds. Magical collections of your favourite things. Places of discovery!

Emporiums were about individualism, not mass production. They championed the personal and the handmade. Gift buying at an Emporium was an art form and was underpinned by an intimate ‘from me to you’ philosophy. The very idea that someone would go to such great lengths to purchase a gift for a friend or loved one elevated the item to that of ‘a luxury’. That thought is more pertinent today in this age of disposability.

We have assembled a precious collection of imaginative and beautifully handcrafted items, making things easier for the confused and weary modern shopper. The intention would still be the same, to enable someone to purchase something as unique and special as the recipient themselves.

Given the level of thought and care we’ve invested in the concept of Emporium, we aim to make this experience ‘shopping for the imagination’.

The Wonder Room is the best of the best brands, our dedicated area for elite, high-end luxury brands. Its brand environment is in keeping with the values of luxury. Each item is gloriously laid out and the sleek black backdrop communicates the concept of a premium brand.

This space is solely inhabited by complementary premium brands with a higher price point, so customers on this part of the site will understand immediately that they are browsing through a luxury environment.
