If you’ve seen photos of Socialite Penny Lane since the 1970s, it’s easy to think of clothes from this selected store. Fragments of Boho Chanel and Burberry (the entire shelf is dedicated to the brand’s iconic trolls!) hang next to a cut carpet jacket, silk scarf and flowing dress.

The rumor was founded in 2011 and is actually two stores located in the same neighborhood. Between you can find clothes, jewelry and accessories dating back to the 1950s, but the store specializes in items from the 60s and 70s as well as leather goods. These products are spacious – leather bags, paired with knee boots, sunglasses drawers are just some of the reasons why they stop.
