Handmade, vintage and other fashion brands
Harriet Hill: I first saw these on social media and am now beside myself that they will be appearing at the market again! Harriet runs a handmade slow fashion knitwear brand that focuses on the fun and whimsical; her Diet Coke pieces and tulips in particular always are a big hit with the girlies! With a background in knitwear design, every item is made by Harriet with passion and love that she hopes you feel when you wear her creations. She’ll be launching her new autumn/winter range, that’s yet unseen or been sold at any market yet. With a focus on sailor collars, beanies, scarves and bonnets, as well as a new range of vests and cardigans. Cute, cosy, ideal for Christmas.
Lydia Ellen: These one of a kind upcycled pieces are playful, delightful, inspiring and full of happy JOY that will make you want to wear them all season long. Founder Lydia spent many happy hours with her mum and Nana Mud uncovering fabrics at charity shops and markets, and it's this lifelong passion which inspires each of her designs today. Every top, dress and accessory is handmade by her in England using preloved fabrics, making them more sustainable and ultra limited edition. Gingham, bows, oversized collars and more, we know you're going to fall in love with these pieces just like we have. I have three of her clever wrap tops and get so many compliments on them.
Worn to Threads: Worn To Threads has become well known for the absolutely beautiful patterned vintage fabrics founder Izzy uses. 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. These are the sort of things that make me feel so excited about the future of fashion. Sustainable and original. Unbeatable. For December she’ll have a new collection of jackets and coats plus scrunchies, Christmas stockings, mini pouches, bags and so patchworked art tapestries - a new project she’s just started working on!
The Gather: Celebrating craftsmanship and care, this gorgeous knitwear is crafted from 100% natural wool 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 they look extremely chic too.
Handbags & accessories brands
NEW! Ophi Studios: Have you seen these on TikTok? Madeleine handmakes the sweetest accessories from her studio in Manchester that make every element of your life more cute. Her best sellers are her tech sleeves, they come in all Kindle sizes, iPad and laptop but she also will have tote bags, makeup bags and hair tool bags too. Excitingly she’s launching sustainable sleepwear using her own home-designed prints, which will match some of her accessories! These are the perfect girlie gift.
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 and has now built a cute accessories empire! 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. But her range has now expanded well beyond scrunchies, for the market Nelly will have her new Pudding Pouch bags, ruffled layering skirts and unreleased satin handbags! Plus her core collection of scrunchies and iconic ruffled straps!

Crystal is bringing so many beautiful things to our market including her bestselling beaded bags and jewellery, as well as a focus on Christmas baubles and crossbody phone straps.
Jewellery brands
NEW! Pond in the Fish: With their curvy chunky shapes and giant colourful gemstones, these jewels are just so satisfying! Pond in The Fish iwas founded in 2022 in Hong Kong, but is currently based in London, making this a great opportunity to see, try on and shop their pieces here in real life. The work is inspired by Chinese grammatology; some pieces are influenced by the Oracle Bone Script from 1600 BCE, others show traces of the methodology of Zhuan character seal stamp carving.
NEW! Twenty Second: Based in Turkey, this is a fab opportunity to shop with Twenty Second in real life. Maker Ipek crafts jewellery from recycled silver clay into funky little gemstone encrusted fruit and veggie charms that can all stack together to make the most impactful jumble. Very Salad Days coded. We also love their giant initial pendants, so you can wear the letter of your love (or yourself) loud and proud right next to your heart!
Frances Kirk: Market favourite, fellow South London gal, all all round talented and beautiful little bean, the one and only Frances Kirk will be at our next makret with the most gorgeous selection of beautiful things. Handmade by Annie in London, each carefully considered jewel speaks of her life experiences: empowering, feminine, oceanic, and is the result of years of research and thought, featuring her iconically organic textures that make each piece something original and special. She’ll have her newest collection of the forms of water pieces, plus a section of presents for under £50 AND she’s launching her brass Christmas decorations this year too; molten little shiny beauties on recycled ribbon.

Featuring juicy gemstones in an array of colours and unusual organic settings, the stones are ethically sourced and pieces are made using recycled silver and gold. Having been in the industry for over 15 years it’s no wonder Sharla has a loyal fanbase, of which we include ourselves! She’ll have brand new and exclusive pieces, and personalised letter pendants.
A Typical Thing: Growing up in Birmingham, Josefina was inspired by the rich legacy of the historic Jewellery Quarter’s craftsmanship and the artistry that defines this renowned area. This deep connection to her hometown fuels her dedication to blending traditional techniques with modern, minimalist design. Each piece is thoughtfully designed and handcrafted, ensuring that it’s not just a fashion statement but a meaningful and responsible choice. I just love the artistry in everythign she makes and know you will too, especially the mini food charms which are just so adorable!
Kalei: Kalei is a playful jewellery brand on a mission to spice up any outfit with their colourful wiggly clay earrings that you’ll have definitely seen all over your feed! Kalei’s signature polymer clay earrings are ultra lightweight, meaning even the boldest, most dramatic dangles stay comfy from day to night. Excitingly maker Sara will have her brand new sterling silver charm collection on offer at the market for the first time ever! She made these playful keepsakes as a way of immortalising life’s little memories like catching sunsets, dipping your toes in the ocean, eating sun soaked tomatoes or tearing into the good olive oil. Plus brand new collection of beaded necklaces made from gorgeous vintage beads and semi precious stones. After completely selling out at the last market, these are back by popular demand!
Ceramics brands
NEW! TTNY: Brand new to the market! Nik’s colourful handmade ceramics are such a joy, I was totally reeled in by the ceramic takeaway container. If you look inside you’ll see a leftover ceramic prawn and noodles which I think is just so fun! The best sellers are the side plates glazed in bright Naples Yellow they reallllllly shine unlike any other (they’ll have new versions with an added cowboy for the market!) And the avocado guacamole bowl, which always brings a smile to people because it literally looks exactly like an avocado itself! Named after our fav South London icon Del Boy’ favourite phrase, “This time next year” (we’ll be millionaires!) means we’re even more excited to have them at the market for the first time.
NEW! Sherlyn Khaw: Malaysian ceramicist Sherlyn is now based in London and so we’re really excited to welcome her to our market! Her artistic journey began early in her early years, exploring everything from painting and air-dry clay to digital illustrations. Moving to London a few years ago, she discovered pottery. What started as a hobby has blossomed into a core part of her life. It's her heartfelt wish that her creations bring a little bit of joy and delight into your daily life, just as they've brought her joy while she made them! Her duck cups, with their little faces and features, certainly make my heart happy!

Alongside ceramic ornaments and brand new ceramic noughts and crosses boards, designed with families and friends coming together in mind.
Susie Merry Ceramics: If you’re someone who appreciates really timeless and beautiful design then I know you will absolutely fall in love with the work of ceramic artist Susie Merry. Susie cleverly creates her functional tableware and home decor in London, with a selection of rustic and colourful glazes like lavender, raspberry and cornflour blue inspired by nature. She focuses on making beautiful, eye-catching functional pottery such as mugs, tumblers and bowls, through to household items like soap dishes, sugar pots and ceramic colanders. In the run-up to Christmas, she’s creating festive decor like snow-covered tealight houses, that would make thoughtful gifts!
Rose Gardner! The fun, painterly and totally creative nature of these ceramics are unlike anything we've ever seen before! Shop the absolutely iconic Prawn Cocktail, and Prawn Bottle Stopper at our next market. These would make a beautiful gift for someone special who appreciates the unique.

By Hope combines the beauty of nature with a passion for bringing people together to share food and celebrate special moments.

So chic.
Studio Limbo: Limbo was first created during a period of “limbo” in lockdown when founder Winnie was furloughed and discovered how therapeutic candle making could ease her anxiety during a stressful time.

Prints, cards, craft & stationery
NEW! Amelia Hamlet: Focusing on the beauty of still life on and around the table, Amelia’s prints, cards and more are instantly recognisable, almost always with food, flowers and stripes. I strongly believe life should not be boring so I use bold colours and silly sayings to inject a bit of love into the everyday. We always love bringing you something new: Amelia only started her business in May and so you probably won’t have seen or shopped it before!
She Snacks and Paints: We have been so inspired by this incredible artist, who has created the poster for this market, and we couldn't be more happy to welcome her back to the market! When I look at Helen's work I always imagine myself as the woman she paints, wearing a colourful silk scarf over her head, shopping for pasta, wearing leopard print ballet pumps with big boquets of flowers in my home! I adore the imagined world and life she's created, so fully of beauty and wonder. I find her prints with inspirational messages so gorgeous too.
Line & Honey: Founder and artist Amberlee designs minimal, mindful artworks that celebrate the visibility of black women, shedding light on the softer, more reflective sides of women of colour not often seen. The collection features beautiful illustrations that communicate messages that matter, with wellness, visibility and representation at the heart of all they do. As seen in Sheerluxe and Stylist Magazine. Amberlee will be bringing new ceramic bits and stationary pieces to the market!
Chin Chin Prints: Salad Days Market is all about celebrating the very best South London has to offer, which is why we absolutely love to work with our talented SL neighbour Chin Chin Prints. Illustrator and graphic designer Emily spent many years designing for globally renowned brands, before turning her talent into a full time biz. Her iconic prints feature some of our most beloved local location. For the first time in a while Emily has stepped away from the digital, picking up her lino printing skills to create 10 limited edition mini prints. Each one is hand printed and therefore unique!
Kidswear
Conkers Handknits: I can’t think of anything more perfect to gift the little one in your life this Christmas than these children’s knits which are each handmade in London by maker Katy. Take your pick from tiny soldiers, lobsters, robins, dinosaurs and more! All made using 100% cotton wool so they’re machine washable.
Bakery and deli brands
Mr Desserts: Oh my god, these cupcakes are incredible! Moyin is fanatical about his ingredients and baking process, only using the best of the best to ensure his bakes are 10/10 every single time and we can confirm he absolutely achieves this. This Christmas, expect rich brown butter flavours and festive spices, the perfect things to treat yourself to as you get some festive shopping done. Every product is handmade in small batches by Moyin himself to be irresistibly indulgent. His bakes literally always sell out before the end of market day so come early to avoid disappointment! And believe me, you really will be disappointed if you miss them.
Miam Jars: Former chef Rachael has created an amazing array of delicious things in jars which are all plant-based, homemade and have no added nasties. Perfect stocking fillers! Designed to make plant-focused cooking more delicious and easy (whether you’re vegan or not) Christmas brings new branding and new flavours including Mulled Wine pickled grapes, Scotch Bonnet Cranberry and Roasted Red Pepper and Gochujang!
