Visit our Shop

Shop visits by appointment

We're not really a bricks and mortar shop in the conventional sense. Our space is an open plan office lined with shelves of fabric with a big cutting table in the middle.

We're not geared up for walk-in shoppers for a couple of reasons. First, we're not in the shop every day. Second, when we're in the shop packing website orders, it can be pretty chaotic.

That said, you are welcome to visit the shop... but please, please, please... call or email to make and appointment. That way, you'll avoid wasting a trip.

Thanks for understanding,

Magie Relph, Jenny Hall and Bob Irwin

Google Maps is notoriously incorrect and unreliable.

• Google is wrong about our shop hours and there is no way for us to correct it. Ignore Google.
