Chelsea Fifi Boutique Open Sundays

Choose a job you love and you’ll never have to work a day in your life! Well, we feel like that at Fifi Wilson but sometimes you need just one day to chill out, forget about stock, merchandising, window displays, appointments…  you name it! and catch up on all those important little things like eating and sleeping.

I’m based at the Chelsea shop and although Clapham and Covent Garden are always open on Sundays, at Chelsea we’re very civilised and have the day off! Like all good things though it’s prone to change and does so every year when we reach December. It starts off with me not getting quite as many strokes, tickles, ear rubs, fondling and general adoration. The equilibrium suffers and the customers seem totally absorbed with what is in the shop rather than with what’s on the sofa. Moi – for the few of you who hadn’t noticed!

From then on it’s a downward spiral. The more rushing about and urgency I detect in everybody’s voices the more I know the Sunday opening is on it’s way. Well it’s come around once again and I’m in store for the next three Sundays! No more bed hopping in the morning, lounging with my bro and titbits all day long – no, back to the shop for a seven day week! Shouldn’t moan though there is a pay off! I start to notice the ear rubs return, everone relax becoming almost euphoric which all culminates in having a whole week of Sundays off in one go!

So it’s worth it and I’m well up to the Sunday challenge! My name’s not Elvis for nothing! The show must go on!
