Browns focus


BROWNS FOCUS

Modern, luxurious, Established brands

The outfit in the window has quite a young, sort of fresh, trendy look to it, along with the accessories too.
I think this display definately reflects what the whole store is all about.



 The window displays at Browns focus are very glitzy and glamorous, which  is what I think makes it look more modern than the other browns stores from outside. You can tell from the window displays what the inside the store would be like and found that quite inviting. Inside the store the music is very relaxed and tranquil, the Decor is beautifully done, with dark woods, deep warm colours, gold metals and rich tones everywhere. The whole atmosphere was quite pleasant and somehow quite relaxed, although the staff weren't very welcoming, perhaps it was the music that set the mood inside the store..

BROWNS

BROWNS STORE, South Molton Street

Extravagant, sumptuous, indulgence



 Browns store is located on South Molton Street. There are three different Browns stores on this street and I think each of the stores are all different to each other in many ways, but of course still have the same price tags. The main store is Browns which is the largest store, and across from here is Browns focus which, just from the outside looks to me more visually appealling. Towards the end of the street there is Browns Labels For Less.
 New festive window displays...

 Quite traditional illustrations and christmas themed decorations in window display.
 The window displays shows the variety of things they have to offer, showing that they not only sell clothing but also fragrances, candles, books and home accessories..
