An import store commonly found in malls. It sells vaguely foreign items over an extremely broad spectrum of kitschiness and build quality. I have an elegant solid-wood mantel clock sitting on my desk that I received as a gift. Items found there include:
- Crumbly plaster flowerpots
- Flimsy wooden pictureframes
- Ugly red-hued carpets
- Tall dark wardrobes
- Impressive refrigerated winecellars
- Veined, frilly drapery
- Dark revolving mantelclocks
Only shop at the Bombay Company if you are confident in your good taste and ability to judge value; slapdash (a word which here means shoddy) and tacky goods are given equal billing with durable and understated merchandise.
