the mata hari shop (london) There does not seem to be a Mata Hari shop in London so... Explanation: It seems to be a shop selling memorabilia but there is nothing on the Internet or in the London Yellow pages to indicate a shop of that name. |

the mata hari shop (london) could be just the shop name Explanation: The fact that a shop that maybe existed in London in the 60s is not found in the Web or in London Yellow Pages now, doesn't seem very surprising. If the shop had closed back then and didn't make into some list of historical importance, nobody would think of writing about it in a web page. My point is that while it could be what you suggest (Mata Hari memorabilia shop) or could be just a shop selling any stuff related to dance, or beauty, or visual arts, or whatever, whose owner liked the name and the associations it brings. |

the mata hari shop (london) Mati Hari Boutique, London (1967) Explanation: This may be the answer to your question. The English love to use French words!!! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2007-01-31 22:09:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry! Read your question again, and perhaps this is not an answer, but does seem to indicate that there was a shop called Mati Hari. Whether this even sold memorabilia is uncertain. But the answer to your question is at best speculative: it is quite likely that such a shop would have sold such memorabilia. More than that seem difficult to prove.
