Shopper’s Diary: RE in Corbridge

February 10th, 2007

From Sarah:

My parents live in a town called Corbridge, in a part of England renowned mostly for its Roman ruins and large, draughty castles. Stomping through the countryside in the rain is the main activity here. Recently, however, one of the most charming shops anywhere has opened in the village, seamlessly mixing high design with whimsy. Called RE (for re-found objects) and owned by two refugees from the fashion world, the shop is located in a cavernous, converted garage. On display is an impeccable selection of modern and vintage household goods–some familiar, others you’ve never seen before.
