Tiger, tiger


Has anyone else discovered Tiger Stores? It's a Danish company, which sells inexpensive homewares. A friend told me about a branch in London, and now there is a shop in Cambridge, where I called in recently.



It is a kind of Danish pound shop, with gorgeous Scandi design in evidence. Hum drum items are transformed, such as these heart shaped sponge scourers.



A bird shaped coin purse. I love all these bright colours (modelled on my small stash of 60s and 70s fabrics).



Frames in cute colours.



And Easter eggs in bold brights. Isn't it great? I had a very happy half hour browsing the crammed shelves and filling a basket which came to very few £££s. Also of note, which I didn't buy this time, was sticky backed plastic shelf liner in pop flower designs. There is a huge stationery section to look through.



Here is a view of the front:



Well worth a trip, I'd say.

    1. Hi, I agree that the Pound Shop can be a surprising source of treasures, but I'm sure you'd love Tiger!

  4. Yes, I chanced upon this shop a few weeks ago when I was in Cambridge. I think it has only just opened. Like you, I thought it was crammed full of pretty (and useful) things at very good prices and came away with quite a few 'treasures'!
