When Lauren from Ink & Ember Bookseller messages you 2 weeks before launch asking for a whole new merch lineup...of course you say yes!

With no shop front to use as reference at this point, we worked purely off Lauren's vision and concepts and brought the new shop design to life just in time for opening weekend.

Seeing the physical merch in the shop and everyone carrying their tote bags around Queensgate Peterborough has been surreal. So glad you’re loving the collection so far 🩷

Unpopular opinion: More choices isn't always better 💡

When I looked at my collection of 20+ Kindle Charm designs, I realised I didn't want to just offer options, I wanted to offer pieces I was obsessed with myself. So I made the call to cut out everything that didn't feel 100% perfect to me anymore.

It took a few weeks of tweaking and starting over, but here it is! I've completely redesigned my favourites, added a few newbies and launched a brand new curated collection of just 10 designs ✨

So excited to finally show you what I've been working on behind the scenes over the last few weeks!

In honour of The Burrow opening this Saturday in Queensgate Peterborough, I've designed a brand new collection inspired by Ink & Ember's gorgeous new shop. You'll be able to get your hands on Kindle accessories, bookmarks, glass can cups and more.

Run don't walk to Queensgate Shopping Centre on Saturday 22nd at 10am. The first 10 customers will also receive an exclusive tote bag designed by myself, as well as lots of over amazing goodies 🩷💚
