Looking for the perfect present this Christmas?
In the build up to the big day we’re swapping Black Friday hype for something that feels a bit more loved, so we’re thrilled to introduce our LC Loves Local Christmas Guide! A curated collection of locally made treasures designed to help you find something a little less ordinary to pop under the tree this year.
Plenty of scouting (which let’s be honest has been a complete delight) and umpteen oh-my-goodness-this-stuff-is-gorgeous’ s later, and we’ve ended up with a collection that we are utterly bowled over by, all sourced from a selection of skilled craftsmen and women working right here on our very own doorstep.
We’ve unearthed treasures like hand-fired and painted homeware, botanical-infused linen mists, repurposed leather goods and artisan food and drink creations, artfully fashioned and skilfully imagined into products that we think are just magical; and while it’s been tough narrowing our selection, we hope that after browsing the collection you’ll be as inspired to shop local for your pressies this Christmas as we are.
