According to current theory, there is no such thing as too many pairs of shoes. So joyous news, then, that new brand Purified has emerged from the creative depths of east London to fill in any high-end footwear gaps.
£325, purifiedfootwear.com
We're not sure about: Peter Piper
The Audit is all for giving second chances, but maybe a clothing line for usually impeccably cool Parisian high-street brand The Kooples is a chance too far. Especially if the person is Pete (sorry...Peter) Doherty, and the launch was delayed by his stint behind bars.
We're buying: Mister Perfect

£20, available nationwide
We can't wait for: Graduation time
It's almost that time of year again, when the new wave of fashion grads gets the chance to show off their wares.

We're visiting: General store
