We kick off with one of my favourite shopping haunts & one of North Londons best kept secrets!
GUATEGOAT is one of North London’s best kept secrets, a real treasure trove of all things delightful....bags, accessories, jewellery, clothing, more bags, the list goes on.....

The Owner/manager Hal Davis has got the market cornered when it comes to quality, individual womenswear designs at affordable prices. Plus his customer service skills are not too bad either! He makes each customer feel special and nothing is too much trouble.
Such is the quality & choice on offer, you could literally spend all day drooling over the uniquely designed bags, clothing and accessories.
This is what Hal had to say:
Welcome to GUATEGOAT LTD, a boutique for individuals.
One of the main things we pride ourselves on is staying away from commercial mass produced items that all too often involve child labour and exploitation of people less fortunate than ourselves.
At GUATEGOAT we retail and wholesale a wide range of bags, clothing and accessories. Most of our products are unique with many of the designs created by members of our company. We also offer a bespoke service onboth bags and clothing, and specialize in larger size clothing (18-26).
It is not a taboo to mention that over the past decade or so, Fonthill Road has seen a decline in standards of service, quality and presentation - hence the numbers of discerning customers have dropped off.
GUATEGOAT have been established in North London for about 2 years but have actually been trading for about 18 months. During this time, we have received consistent feedback suggesting that our presence has re-inspired customers of all ages, some of whom are regular clientele from places like Upper St, Crouch End and Camden... The word is spreading far and wide, and we now have many high profile customers from as far afield as the USA, South America, Europe and beyond.
Above all, we aim to provide the best service and highest quality products possible at very affordable prices.
With Winter clearly taking its toll on the UK I was going to write a post about warming fashions. Then I thought about it and decided to cheer myself up with something a little sunnier, a bit of a 'spoil myself rotten' moment. With our giant bags and the gloves, spare gloves, scarf, extra pair of socks, chap-stick, hat, make up and all the other snowy additions us ladies manage to cram into our bags on top of the normal load, (did you know the average ladies handbag weighs the same as a house brick!) I introduce you to some petite, feminine and luxury accessories from Angel Jackson.
