“And I remember one time he sent a container-load of station clocks from Belgium. They had converted all their clocks in the railroads from wind-up to electric, and he was there when they were all cleared. It got me so ex
Keith Johnson described one of his great “finds.” On a trip to France he said there was a hook on the wall in his hotel room which caught his eye. “And I wound up buying that hook because that hook - just everything about it was - said France. … So I went down to the owner of the hotel, and I wound up paying some ridiculous amount of money, but we still sell that hook 15 years later because it was just everything that I wanted it to be, and I didn't want to change it. But today our customers are so sophisticated, and they've been shopping with us [for awhile]. And the world has gotten smaller, and you need to surprise people. So what we do today is, I'll take that hook or something like it, whatever it might be, send it back to the design team gucci outlet sale, and then maybe they'll add jewelry to it or they'll reconfigure it in a way that's going to surprise people. People want to come into the store and be surprised and see something they haven't seen.”
Recently, Sarah Barnett, EVP and General Manager of Sundance Channel and Man Shops Globe host Keith Johnson spoke to the Television Critics Association about the new reality show.

Traveling Around the World to Find Interesting Products
So, how does one become the major buyer for a popular chain of retail stores that carry unique items? “Well, my dad was an art dealer,” Keith Johnson explained. “I never imagined that I would do the kind of traveling that he did. But when I was a kid, he was in Europe a big part of the year. And he specialized mostly in 19th century European art, but he also had a fascination for objects and things.
This is a unique show in that it follows an actual buyer for a popular retail store that is famous for interesting and unique items.
“I think my job is fairly unique in that I'm buying for a creative team back in the States who are going to reinterpret lots of things that I buy, and designs gucci purses, [and I am] also buying antiques just to have in our stores as props and as things for sale. So the particular mix of what I do is, I think, pretty unique. And it affords me an opportunity to go to places around the world for different things that, if I were just an antique dealer, it would be hard to justify. But I can do so many different things because my brief is so large cheap gucci sunglasses,” explained Johnson, who obviously enjoys his job.

“Keith Johnson's unique eye for the fresh and the new takes us around the globe as we join in his adventure to tap creativity,” said Barnett. The show is “part travelogue, part treasure hunt, [and] part artistic quest.” She added, “As we follow Johnson's journey to bring home amazing objects to the novel space of the Anthropologie retail chain, we (the viewers) become fascinated by Johnson's way of looking [for items], and it opens our own eyes to a novel way of looking at the visual world around us.”
