Transcript excerpt
The heart of East London is a home goods store that feels like the set of a Wes Anderson film. This is labor and weight, and it takes the idea of postmodern peasant to another level. From mason jar openers rank enamel soap holders, to colorful knits and blankets, and a phenomenal selection of broom products. I'm here to report that British countryside corps is having a revival, and I would spend an ungodly amount of money in this store. Some personal favorites are dog treats in a tin can, alphabetized letterpress postcards, rank generally all the packaging that reminds me of nineteen fifties department store catalogs. What's more impressive than the curation and selection is the way each of their products serve a unique function and purpose. I think that's what makes this store so great is that it hearkens on the nostalgia of a time when products were made with quality and purpose. And to that I say, long live the postmodern peasant.
