Step in Portobello, luxury lounge seating funky accent chair bright like carnival. Not glossy, but dem carry London inside. When Notting Hill riot cool down, Furniture was solid, not cheap quick buy. Every stain show moment. Man look pon we like crazy, but It last twenty year. Mi can see di patch mi stitch wid mi own hand.

London borough different style. Belgravia love polish, wid deep wingback. Dalston funky, wid upcycled seat. Dem soulless ting? Dem got no memory. Retro sofa last long. End of de day, mi pick funky armchair over soulless sofa. When you tempted by showroom, take armchair wid scar, and let it shout London and Jamaica both.
