After her Dubai boutique, Emirati fashionista Hunoof Hamad is taking on London.
Curating affordable one-off upcycled garments and rare unworn pieces from the likes of Dolce & Gabbana and Jean Paul Gaultier, Hunoof Hamad has opened a pop-up store, Les Spot, in Soho.
Only open throughout December, Les Spot has a sustainable ethos with a focus on upcycling and thrift to create affordable vintage fashion, with accessories starting at just £10.
The high-investment pieces Londoners can get their hands on at Les Spot include a pair of white leather trousers as seen on the D&G catwalk, Chanel heels, bags and necklaces and a Jean Paul Gaultier La Femme baby doll dress. There are also some notable vintage Barbie dolls, including a limited-edition Burberry Barbie still in its box.
Hunoof Hamad said: “We’re inviting Londoners to come in from the cold and experience a warm, Emirati welcome to Les Spot, our melting pot of vintage fashion where each piece has its own story.
“Whether you’re shopping on a budget for a unique look for party season, want to indulge your passion for sustainable fashion or are searching for something special to add to your collection, Les Spot is the place to find what your wardrobe has been missing.
“London is a multicultural mecca so it’s the perfect place for our pop-up of vintage treasures sourced from all corners of the globe.”
The fashionista is inspired by the idea of creating an antithesis to fast fashion. Opened in 2021, Les Spot breaks the taboo around pre-owned clothing and celebrates the repurposing of discarded garments into retro masterpieces to complement an impressive vintage archive.
Les Spot can be found on Air Street, London and can be followed on Instagram @shoplesspot
