Rhea Amore with complimentary personalisation: Handcrafting colourful leather goods since 2018 from her studio all the way in the Isle of Wight!

All Rhe Amore products are designed & handmade using leather she sources directly from tanneries in Italy, and a British supplier for speciality hides. All products are made with the same material and are sewn with the same techniques used by big luxury brands but don’t come with the high designer price point. Especially for market day Rhea is bringing her hot foiling machine which means you can have any item personalised on the day too!
Handmade fashion
NEW! Cassius Honey: Dreamy clothing to wear forever, designed and handmade in West Sussex by wonderful creative mind Josie, who named the brand after her two gorgeous littles. Everything is made from sustainable fabrics designed in-house, intented to transcend mainstream trends, while taking in to consideration the changing needs of a woman's body. Most pieces are versatile and can be worn in mutiple ways! Like dresses that can become skirts! Rich in a playful personality and joie de vivre, think gorgeous candy stripes and plenty of bows and ruffles that feel so fun and special.
Aff & Jam: Kelesi and Jaymie have a magical aura that draws me in every single time! They’re so lovely and so gorgeous and so talented, and as well as all that they create the most original, cool and sustainable fashion pieces together. One part African (Aff) and one part Jamaican (Jam) the pair’s roots not only formed the name of their label, but are a profound part of their personal and brand identity too, and something they continue to explore throughout their work, creating wearable art by hand-painting vintage and recycled items with their signature line drawings. Shop the collection of fashion and accessories, all one of a kind.
Again & Again: This super cute circular fashion brand is saving unwanted clothes items from landfill in the most clever way. Designer Jen screenprints her original designs directly on to the preloved garments, transforming them to something exciting, fresh and covetable to be worn (as the name suggests!) again and again! And even better, they’re based right here in South London which we absolutely love. As each piece is one-of-a-kind our market is the perfect chance to browse, touch and try them on; you’ll have to be there to bag your fave.
Esmé: As seen in British Vogue, these 70s inspired shirts are absolutely ICONIC and we are soooooo proud and chuffed to have them back at our market after they were an absolute smash hit this summer. Designed in London and made in Portugal, they feature a rather gorgeous pointed collar and jumbo balloon sleeves, making them feel perfectly retro and yet super modern too. Because of their iconic shape they look excellent worn simply with jeans, or are ideal for layering under sweater vests so the collar and sleeves really shine. Choose from a beautifully bold block colour, the blue and green were best-sellers before, or from a patchwork of all.
The Daydreamer: Maker Bella is so well known in the small biz world for her beautiful size inclusive fashion so we’re really proud to welcome her back to our market. Pieces are all handmade by Bella in South London, and her regular size range spans all the way from 3XS - 4XL! These clothes are made to fit your body, not the other way around - how refreshing - and so make you feel bloody amazing when you wear them. And isn’t that the whole point!?
Worn to Threads: Worn To Threads has become well known for the absolutely beautiful patterned vintage fabrics founder and maker Izzy crafts her upcycled pieces from. The most stunning little waistcoat made from 1986 Morris & Co fabric that used to be a pair of curtains, a wool coat expertly reworked from an artistically patterned blanket, a padded jacket cut from a patchwork quilt with the most exceptionally clever pattern placement I’ve ever seen! Every single one is a feast for the eyes, a celebration of the most special textiles and craftsmanship, and of course totally one-of-a-kind.
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 and we are soo chuffed to have them at the market! Find something gorgeous, special and most importantly, sustainable, for all the fun occasions you’ve got planned for this season (and prices are so, so reasonable too when you think of all the work that has gone in to each one.
Days of Dwam: These gorgeous pieces are cleverly made from pre-loved garments. Ex-fashion buyer Katy sources each secondhand fabric, experimenting with matching fabrics together, using processes like dying, bleaching and painting to salvage materials that otherwise might go to landfill. These unique fabrics are then transformed into something rather exciting and unique by Katy in her London studio, how clever! Pieces are designed with comfort and versatility in mind, with the outerwear being reversible & dresses or co-ords being designed to be worn either way round. The word ‘dwam’ means to be pleasantly lost in one’s thoughts and that’s exactly how I feel looking at Katy’s designs because they’re so special.
Vintage & preloved fashion
NEW! Nappe Vintage: If you find looking at vintage fashion a bit overwhelming then this brand is for you.

Expect excellent quality, brands you’ll recognise and super affordable options from just a tenner alongside some designer names too. Making sustainable shopping easier and more enjoyable.

Refresh your Winter wardrobe in a more sustainable way (and at great prices) at our next market.
Edit89: The vintage and luxury fashion reseller will be popping up at our market inside The Hoxton with a collection of top quality, style-led designs carefully curated by founder Amy. I’m chomping at the bit to see what’s going to be on their rail because Amy has THE BEST taste, she's always so on top of trends and finding pieces uncannily like those you've been eyeing up on the high street (except much better because it's an original design not a knock off) PLUS her pieces are affordable, starting from just £30. We shop with Amy again and again because she always has something super cool, in a great range of sizes (I find that's not always the case with vintage) that I can't find anywhere else.

All Rhe Amore products are designed & handmade using leather she sources directly from tanneries in Italy, and a British supplier for speciality hides. All products are made with the same material and are sewn with the same techniques used by big luxury brands but don’t come with the high designer price point.

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.
