The Shop Floor Project

Isn't this brilliant?

The Shop Floor Project, a one stop internet shop where you can buy a range of designers, many of them British made... open the red front door, and follow the signs to your favourite department.

Get yourself some tea towels for the inevitable mountain of washing up this Christmas - these are by Megan Price, who is based in Manchester.  Designs are inspired by vintage signs, packaging and seaside cafes.

Or how about these ceramics by Nottingham based Katrin Moye - the designs are influenced by traditional Eastern European folklore:

which are rather reminiscent of the German-made ceramics we used as children featuring chickens (which used to be available from John Lewis but alas no more).
