In August 2018 we started our venture with the vision to provide a space for local artists and artisans to showcase their creativity in an actual store in Padstow, Cornwall.
We started out with a few shelves and tables showcasing our 10 artists and creatives who were making a range of items from multiple art forms, to vegan toiletries, jewellery, home furnishings, leather belts, bags and accessories, and a whole lot more!
The emphasis was on showcasing unique quality products that last the test of time, and still is today.
We have changed a bit in the last 6 years, but our ethos to be environmentally friendly and locally sourced remains the same.
Even the shop was built locally by my brother and we chose to use real wood to enhance the customers experience and vibe of the store ensuring a relaxed and earthly feel while browsing.
We were determined then to be as organic as possible, with no single use plastic and all items to be sourced as locally as possible and we all still strive for that today.
Most of our stockists have stuck with us from the beginning and, in 2024, we now stock items from over 35 small independent local businesses owned by a range of super skilled people aged between 11 and 89 years of age – there really is something for everyone in store!
Come and find us in Padstow, Cornwall in the back of the arcade in Broad Street (where the Maypole goes up). We are right at the back of the arcade so be sure to come right in so you don’t miss us.
