Bohemia

An award-winning lifestyle boutique based in Edinburgh, since its opening in 2006, Bohemia has become a well-established source for eclectic and original clothes, shoes, accessories and homeware, all sourced from across the globe. And if you can't make it to the shop, panic not. Bohemia now has a fantastic website, which offers an excellent way to view, search for and buy its many products, without leaving the house.

FANTASTIC BRANDS

The key to Bohemia's success seems to lie in the quality of the brands that it stocks. Ever on the look out for colour, texture and design, co-owners Jenny and Deb have picked up many a fabulous find on their travels through Brazil, Morocco and America to name a few. While some of the brands it stocks are well-known, such as the cult Swedish clothing label Odd Molly or the beauty range by Paul & Joe of Paris, others are less popularised, exclusive to Bohemia - but always tipped to be the must-have brands of the future.

SHOP 'TIL YOU DROP

A one-stop shop for the yummy mummy, it is somewhere the owners confess they would have loved themselves when their own children were small, and, indeed, there is much to tempt on all fronts. For children, you can search in categories Baby & Children's Clothes, Footwear or Toys & Nursery; meanwhile, mothers can treat themselves with Women's Clothes, Footwear, Jewellery, Accessories, Bath & Beauty products or even pick up something for the home in the Home & Living section. Bohemia maintains its Fair Trade principles throughout its list of retailers, and has been just been shortlisted for two awards in The Spring Fair Awards 2009 -'Buying Team of the Year' & 'Emerging Retailer of the Year'.
