The start of the retail revolution
What if? We asked a question. Our answer? A bold new concept. Exciting stores in Edinburgh and Glasgow which sell an extraordinary range of beautiful art and design products all made in Scotland.

But, that’s not the big idea. This is. Every penny you spend goes directly to those (300 and growing) hard-working local artists, designers and creators – some work in living-rooms or kitchens, some in small or shared studio spaces. (See some of their extraordinary tales on our blog page) They want to create. We want them to earn a good living for their creativity.

Boost our local economy – not shareholders’ pockets
It’s this simple. We make sure the lion’s share goes to those who produce. It’s a model that’s caught the imagination of artists, shoppers, economists and the UK media. Here’s how it works. Each artist/designer pays a nominal rent for display space. That rent pays for staff, marketing and upkeep while the artists retain 100% of their profits. It works for us all.

That’s why we are growing. First Edinburgh, then Glasgow – who knows where’s next. We also have an online store and evermore big ideas to come.
