Lovely gifts, handcrafted by British designer makers, are now available on the high street at the first Things British shop, open in Kingly Court just off London's famous Carnaby Street.
Things British strives to be more than just a shop and is designed to be a gallery, a museum and a fun place to socialise whilst learning about British Craft.
Designer makers, whether full time, part time or even amateur and of all disciplines can rent a space within the shop from as little as 4 weeks, or up to one year with no commission!
As part of the service, Things British does all the selling, advertising, arranges joint promotions, sets up events and marketing activies, all to showcase the fantastic products available, handcrafted in Britain by British designer makers.
This contemporary platform for showcasing and selling is a great opportunity for designer makers to take what might be a profession or a pastime to a whole new level.
The shop owners have recently announced on Facebook that they will be renting out table top space in their London shop from Thursday through to Sunday each week, where makers can run mini-demonstrations, workshops and product tests, direct to the public. Sounds like lots of fun and a great opportunity to meet the makers!
Aiming to be the largest retail brand destination for things handcrafted and unique, Things British is a shop to watch - and with new venues due to pop up in all corners of Britain including Cardiff, Manchester and Edinburgh over the coming years make sure you keep a keen eye on your highstreet for the next Things British shop.
