Minerva

Minerva surely lives up to its self-appointed title as a haven of textile lovers.  Inside, the shop is filled with lovely natural light which bounces off the white walls, illuminating the space and books in a beautiful glow.

The shop takes hues from the many art, design and lifestyle magazines it carries, in the ever changing layout of the merchandise, to the kitschy cute broachers, stationary and greeting cards it offers. It isn’t just about looking pretty here though; they’re made about books too, particularly those centred on textiles, arts/crafts and all things creative.
