Made slowly, kept for years

Things for a house that is lived in

Cloth, crockery and the odd useful thing, made by workshops we know by name and chosen because they wear in rather than wear out.

How we choose

Fewer things, better made

Everything here is made by a workshop we have visited: the mill in Yorkshire that weaves the blankets, the pottery that throws the bowls, the bindery that sews the notebooks. We ask how a thing is made and how it mends, and if the answer is that it does not, we leave it there.

The shop stays small on purpose. When something better made comes along, it replaces what was here rather than joining it.

Buy it once, use it daily, mend it when it needs mending.
