Beautiful, simple and affordable. The back story makes us fall in love even more.

Make your dining experience a little more luxury and enjoyable with Butter products – ethical soft tableware made in East London.

They say;

Founded by partners Alex and Ed, Butter exists for a generation who want to make a house a home, but won’t be able to buy their own for years to come. We aim to create homeware that brings a little bit of joy and will follow you wherever you go.

Our story began in lockdown, tired of using and disposing of paper towels at every meal we looked for a sustainable alternative. Our problem was the napkins on the market were either achingly dull or cripplingly expensive. We struck on producing classic table linen that could lift any meal.

If you like you homeware handmade with Moroccan influences then you must pay a visit to Bohemia Design.

A gorgeous website full of baskets, cushions, throws and more, all made with natural materials and traditional techniques.

We believe in handmade; perfectly imperfect wares crafted slowly from natural materials locally sourced. Pottery, basketry, weaving are processes as old as human time, containers for storage and carrying, cloth for warmth and protection. Goods made by hand bear the character of their creator, the nuances and eccentricities integral to each piece.’
