Sharing the love for some of my favourite women owned and led brands or businesses in celebration of International Women’s day and Mothering Sunday. From beans to antiques, desserts to napkins, we’ve got the coolest independent female owned brands you need on your radar.

The Proof

I got Seb’s epic 1st birthday cake from The Proof. Francesca’s whole thing is “we bring the dessert” and they don’t just do cakes but profiteroles and macaroons. So delicious!

The Bold Bean Co.

I am totally bean obsessed ! The transformation of beans to become cool is credited to the gorgeous Amelia. I was skeptical if I’d notice a difference, but her jarred beans taste delicious, and I’m especially bonkers for the queen butter beans. I used them to cook a “bean-otto'“ recently with leeks, mushrooms and white wine.

The Lost Girls

It isn’t a secret I have been everything bows lately and these cute napkins are hand sewn by two best friends in London. I had the pleasure of meeting Georgie and her family on the LMP Meadowsweet retreat in Italy and watched in awe as she lovingly stitched each creation by the pool.

Passé The Store

Dani truly has a beautiful eye for unique vintage pieces - all coming from local craftspeople and artisans. She has carefully sourced and curated a collection of antiques, lighting, furniture, and other objects I am eager to fill my home with.

Line & Honey

Adding to my collection of lovely wall prints - these minimal illustrations are created by Amberlee. Using her background in mental health, her work aims to spotlight black women in soft, reflective moments. This print about slowing down and being intentional caught my eye, as well as her ‘Duality Journal’ .

Urban Pantry Cafe

If you are lucky enough to be local to Chiswick you might be familiar with this women owned and run brunch cafe. They have these delicious blueberry pancakes on the menu all year among many other yummy dishes !

Cosmic World Jewellery

Izzy started handmaking jewellery over lockdown and has a passion to empower people with how they feel through her cosmic jewels. She designs all the pieces and they can be personalised with your choice of initials, names or word for an extra unique touch.

HWYL

Shouting out our friend Lydia Buckler’s studio in Anerley. It is so so gorgeous and one of the cosiest, kindest spaces to practise in. Not to mention the aesthetics are very on point! If you love holidays and practicing yoga in equal measures she will be hosting a Retreat in Spain late summer.

Stem Flow

Stem Flowers are based in South East London and run by a wonderful woman called Tiff. She hosts floral arrangement workshops and also provides installations for weddings and events. Her contact is stem.flowfloristry@gmail.com or you can reach out on to her via Instagram @stem.flow

Pink Diesel

Who else is getting excited for sunny evenings nattering with friends over a chilled glass of rosé.? I love that this is cleverly named to take ownership back of derogatory views of rosé as something ‘feminine and girly’. The magnum is currently on sale too!
