Flypaper - Stuck on Style: Supermarket Chic

May 26, 2006

Supermarket Chic

supershopping copy.jpg The BBC reports that the hot new place to find that Gucci knock-off is "down the aisle between the dog food and the baked beans." Yep -- in the U.K., style has come to the supermarket. The upside? Cheaper prices and stealth shopping that won't raise eyebrows on the credit card bill. (Laura, from London, writes "The transaction shows up on the statement as 'Sainsbury's' and the clothes are so cheap it doesn't inflate the bill too much!") The downside? No dressing rooms.
