Victorinox flagship store
on: June 19, 2017, 04:10:44 PM
Well, I was in London on Friday for a work meeting, was making way back across the city afterwards when I just had to get off the crowded and overheated Underground.

Imagine my joy when I popped up close to the Victorinox flagship store (OK, not entirely unintended!!! 😉).

It was great to see their entire SAK & MT current ranges, handle the ones I'm most tempted by & see the little assembly area & components for your custom Spartan.

I guess these are in most of the most major cities - well worth dropping by!

Store looks classy, I've been seeing some stuff on the insta. Still makes me scratch my head how their knives are so reasonably priced, but everything else they make is for rich people. I'd like to, but never will, own a watch luggage or clothes from them too.

But looks like it'll just be me and my littl 2 layer. Maybe a MT at some point.

OP, did you snap any pics while there?

Sorry guys, I was so busy running from display to counter to display to counter etc in my excitement that I didn't think to take any pictures.
 
Just imagine the perfect SAK trolley dash venue, and you're about there...

I'm with you on their "travel gear" - not my thing at all.

I haven't been to London for years, but it's definitely on the list for my next visit.  I can just imagine my wife's excitement. :D

My work is a few minutes walk from the Vic store. While I find the service iffy(the security personnel are cool though! I think they like 'proper folk' as opposed to the super rich),the prices on smaller SAKs are now competitive to good!
There is no beginning,or ending,and for this we are thankful,cos now is hard enough to understand!
