Shop Indie’s 5th Birthday

On 1st October 2019 Shop Indie opened their doors to celebrate the work of makers from across the UK.

After creating greetings cards and other gifts themselves for 10 years, Lisa and John had met lots of amazingly talented makers both locally and from across the UK. They made a wide range of gifts including jewellery, prints, enamel pins, chocolate, soaps, candles, fashion accessories, greetings cards and so much more. These items were just not available to find on the high street and although shopping online was becoming more popular, so many people love shopping in person – especially when they want to find something special for a loved one.

Since they opened Shop Indie have stocked gifts from over 250 makers across the UK – many of them who create beautiful gifts from their kitchen tables, making each piece by hand to create something truly special. They also have a growing number of local makers from North Derbyshire and Sheffield.

Whilst they are celebrating 5 years of trading here at Vicar Lane Shopping Centre, Shop Indie are also in the process of expanding their gift shop upstairs giving them much needed space for stocking more wonderful products created by their indie makers and also a space for small events, exhibitions and workshops. They are also signing a 5-year renewal on their shop lease meaning that they will be celebrating many more birthdays to come!

Lisa and John invite you to come along to Shop Indie on Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th October to celebrate with them. They will be offering all customers who spend £10 to have a go on their spinner for either a discount or a free goody bag.
