The UK Handmade showcase brings you a varied selection of UK based designers and makers who produce quality, unique items for all the family, many of which are bespoke, and all made with the care and attention that just can’t be found on the high street. WHY BUY HANDMADE? As many designers, artists and makers do not have the same overheads as shops, they are able to produce bespoke and uniquely personal item at surprisingly affordable prices. Buying locally reduces your carbon footprint because the products haven’t been shipped from the other side of the world. Buying locally means that the money you spend stays in your area and boosts the local economy. Independent designers, artists and makers care about the things they make so, by building a relationship with a local designer, artist or maker, you are guaranteed outstanding customer care and quality. www.ukhandmade.co.uk/showcase
