Shopping in London: Urban Craft Stars

As regular Wee Birdy readers will know, I’m a big supporter of local independent designers and the urban craft movement, so I was excited to hear about Urban Craft Stars and their pop-up shop which opens tomorrow for a limited time in Kingly Court, just off Carnaby Street.

This London-based design/craft collective, who all met via Etsy, will be selling a range of hand-crafted and vintage items including recycled furniture, organic printed kids’ t-shirts, stationery, leather purses and hand-knitted scarves.

Here are my picks from some of their Etsy shops:

Silver leather zip pouch with bow, US$32, from Peppermint Design’s Etsy shop.

Vintage atlas envelopes, US$12, from Bombus’ Etsy shop.

Vintage fabric cushion cover in blue and white French ticking, US$25, from Little Chook’s Etsy shop.

Other sellers include Urban Knit, My mum's a hippie, and photography by Ryokan Art.
