Spring Clean

KJ’s Laundry Boutique Opens

Getting mid-cycle thrills in the laundrette is no new thing. Omar and Johnny did it in the ’80s. Nick Kamen nearly did it in the ’90s. And Pauline Fowler’s been trying to do it for decades.

Here’s another couple offering a good service: Kate Allden and Jane Ellis, two friends behind KJ’s Laundry, a new boutique selling hard-to-find labels from around the world. Here you’ll find clothes from the likes of Lee Mathews, jewellery by Malcolm Guerre and Laura Tabor, and bags by I Ro Se, while underwear from Spank keeps things suitably naughty.

Filthy girls with a conscience can cleanse their bodies (and their souls) with products by Lather, Voluspa and Fresh Body Market.

Because, as any scrubber knows, getting clean is usually the dirtiest fun of all.

KJ’s Laundry, 74 Marylebone Lane, W1 (020 7486 7855 or kjslaundry.com).
