The Shop
You can always tell the quality of a museum by its shop and
café.......Discuss?
The joys or not of the obvious commercial spaces of a
museum. Often the last port of call in any visit and the one that can leave the
most pertinent memory. The space in the Textiel Museum is beautifully laid out
and as with the rest of the museum is to a high quality specification in
display. The pieces for sale reflect what one has seen within the rest of the
museum. Here is your opportunity to buy the Viktor & Rolf designed jacquard
dishcloth with graffiti splurge or a table cloth designed by
Droog. This was interspersed with a strong collection of
jewellery made by Nederlands designers, felt and wool pieces and I even found a
Margo Selby scarf. The space and the staff were all very welcoming and there
were pieces for all price points. Good thing that I came with a full
suitcase... lots of lovely new books I would have liked and some gorgeous
textiles.
