Sustainable Shopping in Oxford - It’s Our Shop Birthday!
Popping Up In Oxford
The pop-up was a great success, and we absolutely loved being able to get to know our customers in a physical space. Lots of you dropped in for a browse and a chat, and we were able to learn a bit more about what exactly everyone wants from their sustainable underwear!
After a busy Christmas period, sales in the new year slowed down as new lockdown measures came into effect in January 2022. This gave us a bit of time to reflect on the success of the pop-up and work on plans for a more permanent space…
Moving Again!
Post lockdown, the Oxford Covered Market and its Traders had been through a lot, and much had changed by Summer 2022. At this stage, we were offered a more permanent shop space in a more central location where you can find us now.
The set-up process started again, only this time in a bigger space and with more possibilities of making it our own!
We’ve always said this is a family business and this was certainly true with the shop, where Sarah’s parents were a huge help in getting it ready, from cleaning and painting, to even making our main door sign!
Making our beautiful sign…
We are open!
And with a bit more space this time around, we were able to stock up on some more of our favourite brands, like Neve's Bees, Charlotte Spencer, and Eco-Living, as well as working with some new ones!
You can see more of the brands and products we stock on Our Shop page here.
Fully Fledged Shop
Since moving into our new space, we have gone from strength to strength, adding new touches and new brands, as well as our own new products, such as our super soft pyjama bottoms and more supportive bras…
We’ve brightened up our fitting rooms…
And enjoyed another beautiful Oxford Covered Market Christmas
We’ve been able to celebrate different events such as Oxford Pride, B Corp Festivals, and the Oxford Covered Market’s 250th Anniversary.
We’ve also had the opportunity to host some amazing workshops, attended by our wonderful customers! We’ve covered topics like Demystifying the Menopause, Clothes Mending, and Intention Setting.
All of this has only been possible thanks to all of YOU! Our incredible customers are the heart of our business and we have loved getting to know you all through the shop.
Where to Next...
We’ve got big plans for 2025 and we hope to be part of the Oxford Covered Market community for many years to come. If you haven't already met Sarah and the team, get yourselves down to our lovely shop at the heart of Oxford’s Covered Market where you’ll be sure to find a friendly face among the colourful shelves.
We love to hear your thoughts, so if there are any brands you’d like to see stocked with us, ideas for events or workshops you’d love, or simply shop suggestions, then we want to hear it!
Get in touch via email or social media, or pop into the shop.
