We are celebrating Shop Independent Day as a Campion Champion with Holly & Co! This national day of recognition highlights small businesses and independent makers all over the country who, just like us, are supported by every single sale, no matter how small.
"Micro businesses are essential to the UK economy — generating £1.6 Trillion and employing 16 Million people — yet 92% of small businesses don’t feel seen, heard or loved." - Holly Tucker
We asked our little team which small businesses they currently admire and support, featuring clothing, homeware, coffee, and more!
The Scentiment
A homeware brand run by 3 sisters that makes some of the nicest trays and coasters; also their candles are AMAZING! - Dani
Salt the Radish
This women owned and led brunch spot in Finsbury Park makes the most delicious brekkie with exciting specials - plus fun, monthly communal supper clubs. - Flo

How could we not feature one of our own!? Her surreal illustration style feeds into her hand-punched rugs and recycled silver jewellery. - The Cats
