Every year, Liberty comes back around with their ever-early Christmas shop. And this year, it looks like they’re not even waiting until September! That’s right folks, Liberty’s iconic Christmas shop has returned once again, bringing festive cheer to the last trailing days of summer in London.
As is par for the course, Liberty is the first of the big London shops to unveil their Christmas store. But no doubt their opening will be swiftly followed by a succession of similar announcements, for Christmas lovers to shop for baubles to their heart’s content.
Take a peek at what waits for you – it’s absolutely stuffed with Christmas cheer:
Premature Christmas cheer? Honestly, given how disappointing this summer has been you can put this festive feeling straight into my veins. Why not, after all, skip straight to the holidays for some wintry festivities?
If you’re the kind of person whose thoughts are automatically filled with stocking fillers, mince pies and everything smelling of clementines or pine trees come the end of summer, then this will be like heaven for you. If you’re the kind of person who believes Christmas begins on December 1 and no sooner… well, just look away. It’ll all be over before you know it…
Inside the Liberty Christmas shop
Liberty London is the place to go for decorations with a touch of luxury, with everything from glass glitter baubles to grand old wooden advent calendars. These come in a variety of options, including a much sought-after Liberty beauty advent calendar that goes on sale in September. They range from your charming, traditional fare in red, green, and gold, to more out-there offerings that certainly catch the eye.
Unless you’ve got serious cash to throw around, you won’t be revamping your whole attic full of decorations with Liberty products, but the shop is excellent for statement pieces that’ll form the centrepiece of your Christmas tree. Speaking of which, we’re keeping our eyes peeled for the reveal of Liberty’s jaw-dropping Christmas tree. Just check out the pink and blue floating tree from a few years ago! But if you’re in need of a festive lift, a meander around their Christmas shop is just the tonic!
Find the Liberty Christmas Shop on the fourth floor of their Soho flagship store, Regent Street, Carnaby, W1B 5AH. The nearest station is Oxford Circus.
