Jane says: “Our Summer Edition 2023 has recently launched, which always seems a little strange when we are in the midst of Christmas shopping and decorations!

We’ve found getting ahead for the seasons of buying is really working for us, as nearly 100% of our items are designed in Derbyshire by our team.

For Summer 2023, we have many new collections and stories. We have some classic collections where we have showcased our hand-painted artwork - which is a huge strength for us. Our designs make us unique and different, which we find our customers love.

One of our new stories features the unmistakable puffin with its distinctive colouring. We love the soft painted detail on our stoneware pieces, mixed with slate and pebbles, which is already proving popular with customers.

Lovely Ewe is the title for our new sheep collection - what’s not to love with this woolly wonder? A fabulous mix of black and white brings this striking character to life, and we have some lovely gift items, which will be great for the season.

Meanwhile, the occasion market continues to grow. Babies will carry on being born, weddings are always a great celebration, and as for birthdays… you may not want to be another year older, but it’s going to happen! We have some great new pieces for these occasions, and gifts for the new baby and mummy - and not forgetting the proud grandparents.

Finally, our wedding colour palette has been inspired by [Netflix romance period drama series] Bridgerton, with dusky blues mixed alongside soft greens and whitewash wood.

We always like to have something a little different, so we have added a tractor and some wellies - definitely a staple item for summer in the UK!” Call: 01332 340927 Email: Lois@richardlang.co.uk Visit: www.richardlang.co.uk
