The morning opens on a London driveway as a Range Rover idles and a professional driver checks your itinerary. You leave the river traffic behind and cross ribbon fields of Oxfordshire; the village itself arrives like a deliberate stage — low-slung boutiques, wide pedestrian lanes and designer façades spaced for a calm pace. Inside, personal shoppers move through racks with purpose while shoppers follow a curated route that feels private and practiced.
