Maria Dolores pieces really are so unique we’re very excited to have her onboard.
With rings at around £55 and necklaces £61 we’re sure you’ll fall in love with this designer just like we have.

Southbank never disappoints!!!
Posted by: | CommentsAt DSUK we love the Southbank Centre, its always got so much going on you really are spoilt for choice and with most of the events taking place being free you couldn’t really ask for more!!
We’ve had a look at what’s going on over the 8th and 9th of July when we’ve got our High Summer Sale in Chelsea to give you some ideas of what else you can do before or after a bit of retail therapy.
Shopping can really work up an appetite so we were excited to discover that the Real Food Market will yet again be at Southbank!! Taking place from Friday the 8th to Sunday the 10th it’s a great place to find exciting treats and some of the finest produce on offer. It’s a great chance for nibble on some delicious new things as well as some classic street food. Plus there’ll be live kitchen demo’s taking place so you can pick up some top tips.
Queen Elizabeth Hall Roof Garden
Fingers crossed for beautiful weather on the 8th and 9th of July and if it is there’s only one place we think you should head after the sale and that is to this beautiful garden situated on top of the Queen Elizabeth Hall. Created in association with the Eden Project in Cornwall the garden feature a gorgeous lush green lawn, fruit trees, a rustic pergola and so much more!!!
Tracey Emin: Love is What You Want
So this exhibition does charge but if you’re a lover of contemporary art this is surely one not to be missed. This exhibition covers the whole of Emin’s career and includes painting, drawing, photography, textiles, video and sculpture. Also featuring seldom seen early works and a new series of outdoor sculptures created just for the Hayward gallery this is an impressive exhibition of one of Britain’s most celebrated contemporary Artists.
There are so many more fantastic things going on that even if these suggestions don’t appeal check out the Southbank centre website for even more ideas of what else you can do, but don’t forget to come by the sale its going to be jam packed with fantastic pieces.

The Little Black Gallery
Posted by: | CommentsAnother fantastic exhibition taking place at the same time as Designer Sales UK’s Chelsea sale is only about a 10 minute walk away at The Little Black Gallery, 13A Park Walk, London, SW10 0AJ.
The Little Black Gallery was set up by Tamara Beckwith, Lindsey Carlos Clarke and Ghislain Pascal in November 2008. Specializing in photography, it is also the home of the Bob Carlos Clarke Foundation and has a permanent collection room dedicated to his works.
Whilst DSUK is on The Little Black Gallery will have an exhibition on called Mike Figgis- Kate and other women.
The mastermind behind Leaving Las Vegas, Mike Figgis, is bringing a little glamour to The Little Black Gallery. He and his camera have been rubbing shoulders with some of the world’s most beautiful women. Kate Moss, tick. Eva Green, tick. Plus a host of ‘other women’.

We all love a bit of chocolate…
Posted by: | CommentsWell at the V&A they are examining our love affair with chocolate by showing a display, ‘So Noble a Confection: Producing and Consuming Chocolate, 1600-2000.’ it looks at the origins, making, importation and consumption of chocolate in South America and Europe. It is on until the 14th September 2011, but why not have a look whilst you’re in London for our High Summer Sale. It is also the last weekend that the V&A’s exhibition on Yohji Yamamoto is on so the V&A will definitely be a great place to visit as well as our amazing sale on the 8th and 9th of July.
