Sit for the artist while she creates your special and unique piece of artwork in just a few minutes using pro-market pen and pencil in her whimsical, soft and fairytale like style.

Capturing your beloved pet using ink, these portraits are absolutely amazing, so fully of personality, Jeff just has the ability to capture the character of your pup beautifully.
Handbags
NEW! Bardo: These colourful patchwork tote bags are the dream of lovely Jessica, who designs them herself in Tooting before they’re made in Udaipur by a small family run business. Their super cool patchwork design is available in three pretty variations, all of which I think are perfect for spring and summer, whether to fill full of your fave deli snacks for a park picnic, all your stuff to the gym, or just as your daily tote. We don’t often have new bag brands at the market so this is an exciting one for us.
Emily Davies: A much-loved market favourite, ultimate cool girl Em is coming back to trade with us and bringing with her brand new collection of bags, make-up bags and scrunchies! I know these are going to be an instant hit! Spending time trawling carboot sales and antique markets, she’s collected each piece of vintage fabric piece-by-piece, choosing only the most special colour combinations and textures (details you just can’t find on modern fabrics) then either turning it into a one-of-a-kind lil bag, or a gorgeous make-up bag with a contrasting zip. It’s the little details like the pretty pastel zips that make these way more special than something you’d find on the highstreet!
Isla de Gar: As worn by our absolute style icons Lucy Williams and Luillland, and featured by Refinery 29, Who What Wear, Elle, SheerLuxe and The Guardian, we are so incredibly proud and excited to welcome London based handbag brand Isla de Gar back to our market. Lovely designer Emma has been making bags we’re totally obsessed with since 2020 and each bag is still completely handmade in London by her small team of talented girly makers. If you’ve seen these all over your Insta and always wanted to see, touch and try one on for yourself, make it happen at our market.
Accessories
NEW! Auer: As worn by Kat Kenyon, Sara Brown Design and Laura from The Marcon Court Project, so you know these are the cool must-have item! Auer offers hand made, embroidered accessories and designs bring to life eye catching illustrations through wearable embroidery pieces. My bestseller is the ‘dinner party scrunchie’ - an oversized canvas scrunchie featuring an embroidered prawn, a picanté cocktail, a plate of oysters and more! But excitingly they'll also be launching their first collection of embroidered chore jackets which are all one-of-a-kind too.
Made by Mehshake: If you’re a girly at heart who likes pretty things you are going to dieeee over Made by Mehshake! They sell personalised hair claw clips with CHARMS on and brushes that are decorated with rhinestone words and messages, and you can even have them personalised with your name! Brand new for the market they are also launching create your own bag charms too! You can select the charms that they'd like on your customised bag charm ready to be made just for you. How cute!!
Made by Nelly: The TikTok girlies need giant scrunchies, and that’s exactly what teacher Nelly will be delivering! She started making scrunchies as a way to use some amazing fabric she found in shops across south London, vintage finds she’d won on eBay and some beautiful vintage fabric donations from her mum. Currently one of Depop’s global top 100 international sellers, her gorgeously oversized scrunchies adorn the hair of cool girls the world over. We love that they have unique design features you don’t see anywhere else including double layers, mix-and-match fabric combos and the prettiest trims of all time. Nelly will also have lots of other new accessories for you to shop including frilly handbags, phone straps and hairbands too.
Vintage & antique
NEW! SOH Vintage: As big shoppers of vintage ourselves, we’re always thrilled to welcome a new vintage magpie to the market! Hawa curates a collection of vintage jewellery and accessories, ranging from timeless gold treasures to bold statement pieces from the 80s. Each item has been carefully sourced and cherry-picked making them all the more special. It’s no wonder SOH has been featured in Sheerluxe, Elle, Stylist and Marie Claire.
Forage & Find Antiques: Join us as we jump up and down excitedly! We are thrilled to welcome the amazing Forage and Find to our market line up. Known for curating THE most spectacular selection of vintage and antique jewellery. Every piece is solid gold, carefully chosen and equisitely amazing. Expect to find many special, sparkly and beautiful treasures, all, of course, one of a kind. We absolutely can't wait to see what they'll have at their market stall.
Edie Collection: Founder Sarah curates the most special collection of vintage costume jewellery that just is full of the most outrageously gorgeous earrings I’ve ever seen. These are proper 80s and 90s treasured, think oversized gold moon earrings and chains you can layer up. Because each of her items is vintage and so one-of-a-kind she always has a new haul of one-offs so I literally cannot wait to see what special things will be available at our market.
Jewellery
Pinnole: Salad Days is all about celebrating traditional skills in contemporary ways, which is why we are thrilled to welcome enamel jewellery from Pinnole to our next line up. Enamel is something we rarely ever see today, as it's such a skilled and time consuming process which involves mixing and painting each piece by hand! Discover the collection from Pinnole which includes the most adorable enamel charms that are designed to be mixed and matched, as well as beaded bracelets, necklaces and more. These are so fun, playful and happy! The monogram charms are my favourite. Designed in Sicily.
Saltwater Design: Joining us all the way from France, Megan takes inspiration from the landscape, colours and light of the Wild Atlantic coast to create each gorgeous and textural piece of jewellery. Using a combo of vintage beads, shells, and freshwater pearls, they channel serious mermaid energy. Her cutesy pearl bow earrings are always a best-seller, and are as seen on the one and only Zendaya! Come get your own pair at the market.
Ceramics
Kezia May Ceramics: I think it’s the beautiful rainbow colours Kezia uses that really set her work apart from the rest and make them so unique. The shiny glaze and painterly quality gives them such a pleasingly textured and tactile quality. Kezia uses homegrown flowers and leaves from her garden in Cornwall to thoughtfully imprint patterns in to the clay, a beautiful mark of nature adorning every special piece, making it truly one of a kind, just like you.
Phyllos Ceramics: I challenge you to look one of Phyllis’ handmade ceramics in the eye and not feel a tug at your heartstrings! Their little eyes, their little smiles, their little faces, uh! I know these one-of-a-kind beauties are gonna fly off the shelves at our market. Each one is individually handbuilt by Phyllis in London, giving each its own subtly unique personality and vibe and also meaning there’s a highly limited edition number of them available. The best way to find out which one you adopt is to come to the market and see them IRL!
Made by Valkyrie: The cutest ceramics you’ll ever see are made by Valkyrie and you’ll be able to buy them at our next market! She’s always a best seller at our markets so would recommend coming to shop with her early if you have your eye on something specific. Featuring teeeeny tiny little cherries, dainty little love-hearts, pretty pink bows, handles shaped like hearts and the kindest words of love and affirmation, these handmade, limited edition and small batch beauties are ingrained in my mind forever.
Art, Prints & Paper Goods
NEW! Charlotte Godfrey: Charlotte's illustrations are all about celebrating the joy and connection that food and drink bring into our lives. With a love for bold, vibrant colours, she embraces the idea that you eat with your eyes creating designs that are as visually appetising as they are inspiring. She's most drawn to illustrating fresh produce, capturing the warmth of homegrown ingredients in each piece in a gorgey array of products including art prints, tea towels, recipe journals and notebooks.

Ventris Isabella Illustrated: The art you hang on your walls is so important, and create the vibe of your home as soon as you walk through the door, so it's of the upmost importance to choose them wisely. Enter Ventris who can definitely help you on this mission. “Dopamine designs for your walls to uplift your soul and home” sounds like our cuppa tea thank youuuu! With loads of pink, positive messages and snazzy graphic design with just the right amount of retro gradients and butterflies, her art prints are just the kind of vibe we should all be surrounded by every single day.
