Handmade fashion
NEW! What Meg Knits: As someone with an enduring soft spot for cutesy knits, I am enthralled by the work of designer Meg who conjurs up genuinely some of the most adorable knits of all time!! I've long been oogling her Butter scarf, designed to look exactly like a stick of butter, and am basically apoplectic over her new collaboration with illustrator Tess Smith Roberts. I guarantee you will not find knits like this anywhere on the highstreet; come and touch and try them on for yourself for the first time at our market!!
NEW! The Gather: Celebrating craftsmanship and care, this gorgeous knitwear is crafted from 100% natural materials sourced from Scotland, and made in Portugal. The brand was born from a genuine love of knitwear; these pieces are a reminder of family moments spent wrapped in your favourite jumpers, evoking a sense of home and comfort. Wrapping yourself in one of these knits is guaranteed to evote feelings of calm, warmth, and safety, plus they are bloody chic! Exclusively for the market they'll be offering an exclusive pre-order of their new cashmere knit vests, plus 15% off all knits!!
NEW! Ts Threads: Tara specialises in sewing beautiful pieces using repurposed fabrics. The kind of sustainable fashion we know you love, and we are super excited about! This also means each item is totally unique, you'll have to be there on the day to bag the piece you want. We're especially excited about her new drop of Lace Lotus miniskirts which were a bestseller last summer; she'll be bringing a selection of them to the market!
NEW! Makers Journal: Marta is a one-person business focused on second-hand, repurposed and recycled materials. She creates quilted jackets and vest, that bring a cozy, grandma-core or cottage-core feel we know you will adore. All of her products are hand-made and one-of-a-kind and are designed as staple pieces, that will be enjoyed for years! Exactly the kind of sentiment that makes us excited to shop.
NEW! Croc and Maraboo: If you're heading to a wedding or an occasion this summer, I think Ausra will have something perfect for you! She creates the most special one-of-a-kind handmade designs using vintage and high quality fabrics. Beautiful patterns and prints, gorgeous oversized shapes, stunning little details; her dresses and co-ords have just the right mix of wow-factor and wearability! I'm obsessed!
Caroline Dickinson: Caroline Dickinson is a London based textile artist creating wearable pieces of art in the form of hand-printed vintage shirts, jackets and more which have recently been viral on TikTok and Instagram with millions of views worldwide. Far away from the churn of trends and throwaway culture of the fashion industry, Caroline’s luxurious pieces come from an ethos of slow, mindful design; they are made to be worn, hung, loved and treasured throughout a lifetime. Featuring her iconic block print designs, they’re also all one-of-a-kind making each one ultra special.
Scrapping ‘Ell: Every Scrapping ‘Ell beauty is cleverly handmade in Ellie’s South London studio using exclusively existing and vintage materials. Her designs are charming, romantic, full of life, colour, pattern and character. Every single piece is completely one-of-a-kind meaning you'll have to be there on market day to bag the pieces you want! Find something gorgeous, special and most importantly, sustainable, for all the fun occasions you’ve got planned for this summer.
Vintage fashion
NEW! Squirrel Vintage: Ruth is a freelance writer for magazines including Grazia, Red and Marie Claire, and this insider insight gives her a unique perspective as it informs the trend-led feel of her collections and means she's got a keen eye for selecting vintage treasures that are relevant to today. Every single piece is hand-picked and sourced from Ruth's travels around the UK and abroad, making her curation even more exciting to shop!!
NEW! Bosco Vintage: Oliseld's vintage bausiness is based between London and Milan, meaning she has a direct line to the most incredible Italian treasures you won't find anywhere else!! For this market she'll be sourcing to a set theme “Milano city girl goes to London” and my head is full up of ideas of the kind of special one-of-a-kind finds she'll be bringing with her!
Vintage Inclined: Wearable and effortless vintage since 2012. Every single time vintage curator Fiona drops a new collection of pieces I love nothing more than to browse through every single one, as she finds the best things and styles them so nicely. I’m always so inspired! From patchwork suede jackets, 70s boho blouses, versatile chore jackets, 90s floral midi dresses and pieces of jewellery too.
Handbags & Accessories
NEW! Cynthia Land: Susty girlies, you're gonna love these! Cynthia Land is a slow fashion handbag brand, trading with us for the very first time! Rosie is a costume maker by day (and former vintage shop owner) so we can see where she gets her skill and taste from, transforming the prettiest preloved fabric into covetable and cute one-of-a-kind bags and accessories. I just love the patterns she chooses, so beautifully retro and unlike anything you'd find on the highstreet today.
NEW! Claire's: Claires's Scottish heritage meets contemporary London craftsmanship in a collection of accessories that embody sustainability and style. Based in London, Claire creates cross-body bags and bag straps from second-life fabrics, textiles that have been repurposed and reimagined to give them a second chance at life. Each piece is thoughtfully designed and meticulously handcrafted, blending Scotland's rich textile traditions with London's dynamic culture. I know you girlies are gonna love these!
Shan Fran: We're so excited to share the wonderful work of knitwear designer Shannon Frances Lee, who's pieces perfectly combine beautiful traditional skills with contemporary design. All Shan's pieces are designed and knitted in house, in her Hertfordshire based studio using as many sustainable practices as possible - like using secondhand and deadstock yarns which means each item is either one-of-a-kind or extremely limited edition too. I'm big into her little kneckerchiefs as an easy way to keep out a chill on these spring days that go from hot to cold in an instant!
Jewellery
NEW! By My Hands: There is something about the aesthetic of these handmade colourful jewels I just find sooo deeply chic. Each piece is made slowly by Jeannie in East London and we're chuffed to have them with us for the first time. Not sure which one you like best!? Featuring a curation of beads collected from travels afar and sterling silver, their Ripple Necklace (named for its wavy undulating shape) are a best-seller and often sold out, so the market is a fab opportunity to get yours.
NEW! Made by Coy: Created using preloved charms, each necklace is completely bespoke and unique making it all the more special. There's something special about the way maker Charlotte puts each element together, making these all the more magical than other beaded jewellery you'd find on the highstreet; I love how she mixes and matches different vintage elements in a really creative way. Her Puff Heart necklaces are my personal fave and I can't wait to wear one on holiday - a unique heart charm strung onto a patterned silk twill ribbon. So chic.
Ella Stern: Ella’s organically beautiful jewels are the unofficial mascot of the market, as we see so many girlies wearing her handmade pieces. It's no surprise! As featured by Vogue and the Sunday Times Style, they are the definition of chic. Ella, who creates each piece by hand in East london, has been busy working on a couple of extremely special new jewels, all inspired by nature, which we're so excited to see at the market for the first time.
Doa: Jeweller Katie set up her brand, Doa, meaning 'a little mark' at the end of 2019 as that's what she was hoping to make in the industry; a small but mighty and positive impact. Inspired by surrealism Katie creates unique pieces in response to celebrated artists like Miro; which you can see translated in the chunky, creative and experimental shapes she uses. Each piece is crafted from recycled materials making us even more proud to welcome them back to the market.
Sacrosanct: Born from a love of the hunt, jewellery buyer Yasmin launched Sacrosant to make vintage jewellery more accessible. Today she sells a highly curated edit of vintage and preloved pieces alongside a small number of special handmade jewels too and we love this mix of old and new which makes her collection feel super special, like stumbling on a box of treasure. In a world where everything's so throwaway, recycling and reusing beautiful timeless pieces has (in our eyes anyway!) become the new luxury as they are truly one-of-a-kind!
Skincare, Beauty & Scent
Palm of Feronia: Bestselling brand Palm Of Feronia returns to our market with their crystal charged, natural skincare for the soul. Formulated and blended by hand in South London by founder Soph, each product is rooted in ancient traditions and herbal lore. We've used, tested and tasted (her teas are incredible!) basically all of Soph's products at this point and can hand-on-heart say they are all equally magical and amazing. I'm personally obsessed with her Heart Space Essential Incence which I burn as I work, which makes the whole thing feel like a lovely ritual. Always so proud to welcome her back to the market.
Ceramics
NEW! O.K. Mason: It's rare something comes along unlike anything we've seen at the market before! And that's just what these are. Olivia creates the coolest ceramics including her best selling statement ashtrays. Each one is made by hand and complete with its own iconic phrase stamped into the bottom. Social smoker is our personal fave. If smoking's not your thing, you could use one as a jewellery bowl or soap dish.
NEW! Caroline Burke Ceramics: We know you're the kind of girlies who love nothing more than buying a cute mug to have your morning coffee from, and that's why we're extremely excited to welcome Caroline to the market for the first time. Her range of handbuilt ceramic homeware features an extensive selection of adorable mugs (the little bows and seashells are my faves) If hot bevs aren't your think, she also has incredible checkerboard butter dishes, frilly matchstick holders and more.
NEW! Qbe Qbe: There is something so elegant, chic and unique about maker Kubra's handmade ceramic sculptures that makes me want to take every single one home. Built using a combination of coiling, pinching and traditional slab building, the shapes she manages to create are really amazing, these are honestly unlike anything we've seen before and we absolutely love their pure creativity. With dainty details, frilly trims, and often images of beautiful women at their core, it's no surprise the sculptures are made as a reminder to love yourself, to wake up every morning with the awareness that you are a gift and that you are unique.
Homeware & Prints
NEW! Lydia Southgate: Junk journal girlies, this one is for you!! The lovely Lydia runs an illustrated paper goods and stationery brand, with a big focus on journalling supplies including cute papers, sticker sheets, washi tape and more. She designs everything with her younger self in mind, creating things that she knows her ten year old self would have loved and I think that's why her products speak to my inner heart so deeply! Exclusively for the market she'll have new Salad Days themed journal starter kits to help people get into the hobby, plus mini custom collages where Lydia will collage around one of your own photos!
Neesh Home: Neesh’s prints are always a best seller at the market! Neesh Home offers feel-good colourful homeware, capturing moments of everyday magic and moments shared between friends and family! And even better? They're all designed and drawn by her right here in South East London. Her stall is guaranteed to be loaded with prints, tea towels and cards giving you loads of super giftable options to choose from.
