# Designer Corner Shops Selfridges' 'With Love From' Sells Luxury Goods from High-End Brands By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2017-12-05 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/with-love-from References: [luxurylaunches](http://luxurylaunches.com/fashion/selfridges-opened-corner-shop-sells-designers-items-instead-essentials.php) & [selfridges](http://www.selfridges.com/US/en/features/articles/christmas) While most convenience-focused corner stores are stocked with just the essentials for busy consumers, Selfridges set up its 'With Love From' retail shop at the intersection of Duke and Oxford street in London with a focus on luxury goods. The new luxury shop carries labels like Christian Dior, Prada and Fendi, and is home to a special Louis Vuitton concept space and a Dior shop with ultra-exclusive items that can only be found on-site. Some of the extravagant products that can be picked up at this new destination in London include collaborative designer Oyster Cards, the special-edition Selfridges Monopoly board game and high-end handbags that retail for well over £1,000. Through divergence, Selfridges sets itself apart by challenging what consumers have come to know about both luxury and corner store shopping experiences. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [Retail](https://www.trendhunter.com/retail) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Luxury Corner Shops:** Creating high-end shopping experiences within accessible, convenient locations presents an opportunity for luxury retailers to reach a wider audience. - **Exclusive Collaborations:** Partnering with designers and luxury brands to create unique, limited edition products can generate excitement and drive sales among discerning consumers. - **Bespoke Retail Spaces:** Custom-designed boutiques that showcase select luxury brands can create a unique and immersive shopping experience for customers who value exclusivity and personalization. ### Who This Affects Most - **Luxury Retail:** By creating bespoke retail spaces or collaborating with other luxury brands, high-end retailers can attract new customers and create a more personalized shopping experience. - **Fashion:** Partnering with luxury labels to create one-of-a-kind products can generate buzz and stimulate growth for high-end fashion brands. - **Hospitality:** Integrating luxury retail spaces into hotels and resorts can offer guests a unique and exclusive shopping experience, while also driving revenue for both the hospitality and retail industries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxury Department Store Takeovers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burberry-and-harrods.md) - [Boutique-Style Fragrance Shops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-perfume-shop-boutique-stores.md) - [Luxury London Chocolate Shops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-cocoa-store.md) - [Luxe Lingerie Shopping Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coco-de-mer-2.md) - [Immersive Luxury Retail Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-dior-beauty-boutique.md) - [70s-Style Concept Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anya-hindmarch-x-boots.md) - [Museum-Inspired High-Fashion Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/museuminspired-highfashion.md) - [Minimally Designed Fashion Boutiques](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burberry-store.md) - [Bespoke Handbag Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kurt-geiger-one-of-a-kind.md)
