A find.


Bath is known for its vast selection of contemporary independent boutiques, despite its compact size and traditional Georgian heritage. As a city paved with mini wonder emporiums, luckily you come across far more hits than misses - particularly if you're looking for divine homeware or one of a kind jewellery. One of my favourites is the intimate and unique space of Found on Argyle Street, across the infamously beautiful Pulteney Bridge and a stone's throw away from the better-trodden shopping avenues of the town centre. The first time I found this place (ha ha) was to exchange a ring my brother gave me last Christmas for another size (for some reason my main area of weight fluctuation seems to be my fingers). The light, airy, Scandi-esque interior adheres to both function and imagination, with the colourful stock popping from the alcoves and rails. Including a quirky mix of brands which range in style from the classic to the contemporary, the items are refreshingly diverse in description but consistent in quality. In the boutique, presented inside, upon, and hanging from the pleasingly mismatched wooden furnishings and fixtures are carefully curated collections of impeccable stationery, delicate minimal jewellery, vibrant accessories and offbeat mens and womenswear ranging in cost from pocket money to a pretty penny. So whether you wish to purchase or simply peruse, Found is the perfect find.
