Will you ever re-open the shops…?
It was my favourite fashion place in the whole world!
I really miss your style… and really hope that I’ll get to shop in one of your store again!
Take care xxx

Maybe one day we could relaunch the Koh Samui stores or a Koh Samui Collection.
One of the reasons for having this blog is to stay in touch with our customers.

Hello Paul-
I was the biggest fan of Koh Samui in London. I am now opening a store of my own in Mississippi, and would love any reccomendations you have for brands I could stock. I especially loved the jewelry and vintage pieces at the store. If you have any vintage items for sale, please let me know. What brand are you working for now? You can contact me at Jaxybeth@aol.com.. I really hope you open the store again one day. It is greatly missed on my trips to London! x

You really are missed, a trip up from brighton for the day and your Convent Garden store was always first stop, I would always say” I will look around first as we have just got here”! but I would straight away spot something heavenly and never bothered with anywhere else! You are very missed x
Thank you Ally! We miss seeing our customers too! Stay in touch with kohsamui.co.uk and we will point you in the right direction for all those special pieces x
I remember your first little shop opposite the pub in Monmouth Street all the dresses used to blow when we opened front door. I bought a velvet pair of trousers and 2 tye dyed slip dresses in beautiful greens and the other blues. I still have them and I get so many comments still!! I have now opened a little boutique in Whitstable and I too was inspired by you shop.
Hi Susie,
Those silk dresses by Christa Davies were our all time favorites, the colors were so stunning. We have yet to come across a designer that can create such amazing color, customers always tell us they still have her beautiful dresses.
That’s so cool you you were inspired by Koh Samui and have opened a boutique in Whitstable, we wish you every success with it!

Was so happy to get the email from you tonight but really sad you’re not opening a shop. PLEASE try. I loved going to your store in Covent Garden – it always reminded me of Breakfast at Tiffanys – nothing bad could ever happen there. I’ve still got loads of lovely things bought from you – dating all the way back to the original little shop across the road. Good luck with the website. Frances x
Hi Frances,
Its always really lovely to hear from our customers who loved the Koh Samui stores, we are now continuing the look and feel of Koh Samui online. We currently don’t have plans for a new store, However you never know what will happen in the future!
Its great we are still in touch with our customers. Paul and Talita x
