‘Textiles by Murron’ is a limited-edition range of make-up bags, stationery and artwork, designed by Bolton University textiles graduate, Murron Fraser.
The shop’s stunning contemporary jewellery range by Just Trade supports sustainable Fair-Trade projects in Peru, Ecuador, Vietnam and India.
Animals lovers will go wild for the unique and fun pottery and hand painted garlands and the quirky range of knitted dinosaurs and elephants make a fun addition to any bedroom or nursery.
If you’re looking for last minute stocking fillers, there is also a wide range of small toys for sale.
As a Christmas treat, they are offering 10 per cent discount off any purchase until the end of December as well as free gift wrapping.
