Not On The High Street opened the doors to a pop-up FML Store to invite people to trade life's hiccups for positivity. The pop-up shop is full of uplifting gifts from small businesses, ranging from funny candles to colorful socks.
The FML Store opened on 68 Old Compton Street in London to coincide with Mercury Retrograde, "a FML moment in the astrological calendar."
For the first time ever, Not On The High Street is opening The FML Edit as a curated lineup devoted to life's FML moments. Products are grouped into categories to bring joy to love troubles and work dramas, as well as other moments that leave people feeling cringing, fuming or frazzled. With this curated assortment, there's no need to wait for the holidays to start shopping.
