A continent with rather a lot of small workshops in it.

Europe has never been short of people making things properly in small rooms, and this is where they end up. Leather workshops in the Baltics, ceramicists in Scandinavia, glassmakers, weavers, cosmetics houses and independent food producers scattered across the continent, all of them independently owned and none of them large. Browse new arrivals or explore the rest of the map via shop by location.

Baltic leather, Nordic restraint, and a good deal in between.

Some of the most interesting independent work in Europe is coming out of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, which is why they have a home of their own in our Baltic brands collection. Beyond that there is Scandinavian design, German craftsmanship, jewellery, home and lifestyle and the food hall, all under the same roof. Explore sustainable brands, women-led brands, or the resell, upcycled and vintage edit for brands working with what already exists.

Shop European. Shop independently.
