LOCAL CRAFTSPEOPLE WANTED

I recently met a super-talented local lady, Jenny, who makes absolutely beautiful bags, bunting and more using vintage fabrics – you can view her blog here. I originally was introduced to her blog and flicker ‘The Custards’ when Jenny mentioned some wallpapers from my other website www.mylittleeco.co.uk on her Flicker page. I straight away fell in love with her style and her page is very popular so it’s obviously not just me that thinks so.

This got me thinking how much I’d like to have a collection of locally made crafts on miki so we can showcase the best of what Southsea has to offer and to provide opportunities to people who haven’t got the time or money to set up a website or run a business.

So … I am now on the lookout for local artisans and craftspeople to contribute, it can be anything, new or vintage, clothes to furniture as long as it stays true to our core values of being sustainable and stylish. We are also keen to work with local illustrators to create a range of accessories using their designs as I would love to have simple things like tote bags or art prints that are unique and special to us.

If you think this would be something of interest please contact me at claire@miki.uk.com or through our facebook page
