This week’s Indie Showcase features online shops in the UK. Presenting products I’ve discovered (and adore) from independent online retailers.
Compiling a simple-to-navigate list with links directing you to where you can find and purchase everything I mention.
<p I constantly feel inspired by the offerings of independent online shops in the UK. Thus, I decided to share my top discoveries from this week. Today, I’m highlighting some stunning women’s fashion items, a freehand embroidery project, fresh designs and products, stickers, enamel pins, and much more.
Including a plush toy. Wasn’t it the Generation Game that always featured a plush toy? I’m feeling nostalgic now.
Each store has plenty more available on their websites, and clicking the images will lead you there.
If you operate an independent online shop, I would be thrilled to showcase you in an upcoming weekly feature. Learn more here.
