Shopping
Fashion comes to Forest Hill now that Ayshin Demirci and Dominic Crowe have opened the fabulous new boutique, Bunka, on Dartmouth Rd. They've chosen a great range of stock that ranges from hot urban streetwear to Brazilian beachwear with a host of exotic one-offs.
Casual brands include Freesoul, Soochi and Punkyfish as well as cheap and cheerful Flaunt, and more glamorous stuff comes from up-and-coming designers such as Ilker Cinarel and Aida Sirinian.
"I don't want this to be like any other shop," says owner/buyer Ayshin - and it isn't. With a sideline in homewear and gifts as well as a shoe section, Bunka brings stylish shopping to Forest Hill.
