Shopping Small this Christmas

Saturday 3rd December is World Small Business Day, a day close to our hearts and a cause for celebration!

At the moment The Designerie supports over 80 small businesses from local brands such as Mora Jewellery and Lappin & May to larger businesses such as Ireland's Eye and McNutt.

We especially love the face to face relationships we get to enjoy with our crafters, hearing their "making stories" that we can pass on to their customers. Shopping local is so easy here as we are surrounded by so much talent!
