Raspberry Blossom is a husband and wife business founded by Rebecca and Mark in sunny Leamington Spa, where every design is lovingly created and printed in the UK. Born from Rebecca’s boundless love of colour, the brand began in 2014 while the pair worked in London marketing. What started as a creative side project quickly blossomed into a joyful business. Today, they design vibrant, thoughtful products that bring happiness to everyday moments and celebrate life’s little joys. Growing organically, Raspberry Blossom continues to thrive as an award-winning, close-knit family brand full of colour and creativity.
The Tipsy Candle Co. was founded by Lucy, born from a lockdown project that combined her two great loves – cocktails and candles! What started as a creative outlet quickly grew into a full-blown obsession, with Lucy hand-pouring unique, cocktail-inspired candles that not only smelled amazing but sparked conversation and brought a little fun into everyday life. Fast forward to today, and The Tipsy Candle Co. is proudly stocked in stores across the UK. Lucy’s passion for quality ingredients, bold fragrances, and playful design shines through in every candle – each one crafted to turn your space into a mood-lifting, vibe-setting escape.
Lisa Angel began in 2004 when founder Lisa left her London buying career to return home to Norwich and follow her creative passion. Selling her car to fund her first handmade jewellery collection, she began at local markets, soon building a loyal following. From three people working on her living room floor, the business grew into much-loved stores on Lower Goat Lane (2011) and Chantry Place (2018). Today, Lisa Angel is a cherished independent brand rooted in creativity, positivity and care, values reflected in every personalised design.
Ami Mawbey is a Staffordshire-based jewellery designer specialising in handmade, collection based pieces. The brand focuses on high-quality materials and matching sets to build personal collections. As a small independent jewellery brand, Ami focuses on mindful production and reducing waste wherever possible. She orders in small batches to avoid overproduction, uses minimal and recyclable packaging, and aims to create timeless pieces designed to be worn long-term rather than fast-trend items.
Simon and Chris (founders) were two students who had the idea to create PoM (Peace of Mind). They wanted to create a company that had sustainability in the forefront of their mind, ethical working standards and supporting local communities. They initially developed their business through market stalls, and then through buying trips in India. Originally PoM was solely stone set silver but evolved into the accessories and jewellery wholesale business we now see. After marriage, children and then grandchildren, Chris stepped back from PoM whereas Simon is still very much a pivotal role in the business.
Laura Darrington Design began when Laura, a textiles graduate, started making handmade cards alongside her university projects. With a Prince’s Trust loan, a cobbled together business plan and many late nights, her small idea grew from a loft studio into an award-winning greetings card company. From humble beginnings came national recognition, with multiple Henries Awards and a LOUIE Award in 2017 for best-selling Christmas card. Today, Laura and her close-knit team design from their characterful Victorian premises in Leicestershire continuing to create beautiful, design-led cards that celebrate creativity, care and the warmth of family craftsmanship.
Tracey is the creator and owner of Ginger Betty, and absolutely loves to design and illustrate her cards. Her aim is to create feelings and emotions by combining her delicate watercolour illustrations with the addition of little words. She is committed to quality with her attention to detail beginning with the initial illustrations, and continues through to the beautifully finished products she create. She feels it is important to create quality products, lovingly created and beautifully finished.
The Old Farmhouse Jewellery began in 2012 when Victoria started crafting from her kitchen table in their Cornish farmhouse overlooking the countryside. Today, a small team works from their cosy workshop in seaside Penzance, creating hand-textured, soldered pieces loved worldwide. Each design blends sterling silver with brass, copper and colourful beads for a rustic yet elegant look. Victoria’s goal remains simple: to craft affordable, everyday jewellery that feels special. “I started this business because I wanted to create affordable everyday jewellery for all. I enjoy the creative process of sketching designs and turning them into a piece of jewellery that people treasure. I love my job and I hope you love your jewellery!”
