Secret Shopping has been created as a resource aimed at celebrating fine design in all it forms by unearthing some of the world’s quirkiest boutiques, the best textile emporiums and the most fabulous flea markets, so, wherever you are, style is just a street away…
As a keen traveller, designer and journalist, I have spent years finding the best unusual shopping places across the planet, and with your help, I can create the biggest and best alternative shopping guide for stylish design lovers, the world over.
So if you can help, leave your nomination, stating the town /city it is based, the contact details and a short description of why you think this particular shop is the best…and your choice could end up in our hardback guide.
We welcome any comments, advice and tips – the more the merrier!

Hello!
We all love your website and it would be great to be on it!
We are currently having an exhibition of headdresses in our Dover Street shop which we think your readers would love to attend.
These headdresses have been made by Gary Wright and Sheila Teague for film, television and catwalk shows and for the fun of it!

We found our information on your blog !
Hello,
Allow me to present myself: I am Cindy, information manager for the French travel guide collection: Seriousguide
Seriousguide are collaborative travel guides, indeed the information they provide comes from personal travellers experiences related on our website: http://www.seriousguide.fr
We recently published our first issue: the Andalusia Seriousguide. We are now working on travel guides about Morocco and Barcelona.
Our website is opened and travels published by Internet users represent an essential information for our printed guides.
However, we also notice interesting contains from others blogs, like yours.
That’s why we pre-select L’Appartement in Barcelona that you seemed to have enjoy a lot. So we sent one of our correspondents on the spot to check out every detail we needed to publish it in our Barcelona Seriousguide.
If we decide to keep this activity for our guide, we would like to quote your pseudonym as our first source for this activity.
I want to emphasis on the fact that we are not going to use the text you wrote for your blog, but we want to mention you since it’s thanks to you that we found this interesting information.
If you agree, could you please send me your answer by email at the following address: documentation[at]seriousguide.fr?
You can also create your profile on http://www.seriousguide.fr in order to describe your travels and be informed about our publications.
Best regards,
Cindy
