Share our style secret
When we were briefly in
Greenwich Market the manager bullied us into upgrading our rather scruffy presentation; salvation came from an amazing shop called
Treasure Land in the Holloway Road which sold us a selection of Indian, Afghan and Moroccan rugs, throws and lamps that made us the toast of exotic East London. Last weekend we used them to enliven a large stall at the
Lovebox Festival in
Victoria Park. Treasure Island has Afghan roots -- the proprietor is a fan of Ahmad Shad Masoud, the mujahid leader murdered by al Qaida just before the 9-11 attacks, and many of the rugs feature naive images of Kalashnikov rifles and helicopters. The shop is suffering a little from the economic downturn but has some great bargains and should be visited soon and often.
