Red Ruby Rose at Makers!

We are delighted to now stock Red Ruby Rose clutch bags, that are extremely well made, clutch bags ideal for gifts, chic moments or special occasions.

They are inspired by her photography, illustration and love of textiles. Rowena, their maker, studied Printed Textiles at Edinburgh and went on to create a successful illustration career. She now focusses her creativity on these wonderful bags that are crafted from fine fabrics, dupion silk linings and gorgeous prints.

Teamed up with a Chez Williams cushion (below) here, you can see their contemporary yet slightly vintage charm goes really well with the styling in our shop.

And if you haven't been to the shop yet then you must! We have people who visit just to soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the creative ambience, texture and feel of it all. Hope to see you there..

Bright knits- new in!

As autumnal chills bring us closer to christmastime, we have new knitted work from Betty Butter, Fiona Brooker,  Stephanie Wooster and So Toasty.

You can keep toasty warm with gloves, scarves, hotties and hats! Not forgetting the knitwear cushions- even your home can be embraced by knitted textures and bobbles (come and see..)

And if the winter chills set in, these retro-inspired printed handkerchieves will make you feel much better!

It's lovely to have a mezz!

Oops sorry for the long silence over the sunny months... But we are here on Colston Street and super shiny after a surprisingly busy summer holiday (so Bristol does have tourists-just not many sunny months?).

Here are a few photos taken from our lovely mezzanine, showing off the shop from new angles, and it's a little plug for a spare workshop space we have up there to rent. It's a unique space for anyone who might like a getaway to work in, yet not be isolated. Do get in touch if you are interested via info@makersbristol.co.uk.

More pics coming soon of new lovely things we have in for our autumn stock.

Harbour Festival in Bristol!

We have created a new window display for the harbour festival featuring a magical paper boat by Lisa Yardley and Sally Imbert. So happy harbour festival you lovely people of Bristol!

We have new glass work in from Stuart Low, in the form of small and affordable screen printed panels and if you haven't seen the beauty in parsnips before then you must pop in to check out a brand new piece by Coo Gellar that is a delight!

Come in to the cool calm of the shop and you may also hear some local melodies.

Here are a few more pics to get your arty tastebuds going..
