It has many other departments, including a good selection of (rather high-end) fashion, homewares, furniture and fittings. It also has an antiques and collectables department in the basement, with some very desirable collectors' items from many different eras. Throughout the store, prices are noticeably higher than regular high street department stores. |

This is reflected in much of what they sell, and is needless to say not to everyone's taste. |
