"Have nothing in your houses that you do not
know to be useful or believe to be beautiful" (William Morris).
"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication"
(Leonardo Da Vinci).
These are well rehearsed and perhaps overused quotes, but they
do reflect what TCS has been doing for the last 15 years. We have
sought out beautifully made clothes and home wares and, we hope,
presented them in an environment that is at once stylish, simple
and always inviting.
TCS is not about overcrowding your senses, but it is about
inviting you to touch, pick up, try on and experiment. Not a store
that is led by prevailing trends we curate a collection made up of
labels you may not find mentioned in your average fashion magazine.
Our choices for the store are dictated by the quality of the
materials, the cut, as well as that certain "something" making it
stand out from the mainstream.
As an independent retailer we also have the privilege of being
able to showcase up and coming as well as established talent, not
just in fashion but also in art. So we are really excited to
announce that 
Richmond-based artist Teri Anne Scoble
will joining us on Thursday 24th November when the Mayor
, Cinderella and Santa turn on Teddington's Christmas Lights! Teri
will be with us from 10am-8pm displaying her beautiful and serene
life drawings which can be viewed on our first floor; and will be
available to buy.
So join us for a festive drink and take the opportunity to sort
out your gift dilemmas. Hats, scarves and belts from French label
Lilith make beautiful presents. Or if you're looking for something
a little more quirky Japanese label Antipast may be just the thing.
These socks, tights, scarves and gloves, with their whimsical
motifs, are sure to delight just about anyone. Small leather goods
from Ally Capellino are gifts that only get better with age.
A personal
favourite is the home ware by Astier de Villatte. The feather light
china and scented candles will provide that simple and stylish
finishing touch in any home.
Oh, and if while you are browsing you see something that you
would like; let us put it on your TCS wish list. Not only will your
loved ones be able to buy you a beautiful and stylish gift, we will
also wrap it.
TCS has never been about "fast fashion" so we love it when
customers take time to come in, browse, and ask questions. There is
no pressure to buy, but we do hope that you enjoy your visit. We
look forward to seeing you.
