Excerpt from Gear Guide, 1967

Gear, 35 Carnaby Street. Open Mon-Fri 9:30 am - 6 pm. Sat close 4pm.
Inviting looking place this. It's very hard just to pass by without looking in. Everything is pink and warm looking. The walls are all deep pink. Near the window there are thousands of bright feather flowers stuck in hundreds of pink tin tea-pots. There are also a lot of mobiles made with pink and orange wax discs. GEAR started by selling furniture..Now, however, they make up super children's clothes and sell everything from old coffee grinders (about four pounds ten), and Beardsley prints to label buttons that say corny things like "I HATE EVERYBODY". They sell trays, plates, aprons, carrier bags, teacloths and wastepaper baskets, all decorated with the Union Jack. They even have—Surprise! surprise!—flags decorated with the Union Jack!
