You can also make your own patch keychain. Again, choose your keychain base, pick your patches, arrange them on the base as you like and hand it to the staff.

 

A staff member will then put it under a heat machine that secures the patches on the base. It takes about 5 minutes.

Glam Touch is inspired by South Korean culture and set to capture the soul of Seoul in the very heart of London.

 

Rows of tiny spotlights reflect back from the shiny, pastel colour marble floor making you feel like you entered a pretty stage where you’re the star of the show.

 

There are endless rows of neatly displayed cosmetics on the pink selves.

 

 The selection is huge! From familiar brands, such as d’Alba, Klaris, Cosrx, and Round Lab, to brands loved by South Koreans, yet lesser known in the UK.

 

 The marble island stands elegantly as the centrepiece of the shop, proudly showcasing its lipstick and eye shadow collection, while large golden-framed mirrors shimmering on the top.
