Still can’t quite believe this happened.

A short clip from this morning’s BBC Breakfast conversation about craft markets, handmade, and why supporting small businesses really matters — especially in the run-up to Christmas.

I care deeply about protecting genuine makers and the trust that sits at the heart of craft markets. That’s what Curated Makers is built on, and it felt really special to be able to talk about it on such a big platform.

Thank you for having me 🤍
Today I had the pleasure of speaking with Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt on about the importance of shopping handmade and local in the run-up to Christmas.

Live TV doesn’t always allow time for nuance — especially when the conversation turns to how craft markets have changed in recent years — so I wanted to share what sits at the heart of this issue for me.

Craft markets work when they are built on trust.
Trust between the maker and the customer.
Trust that when something is sold as handmade, it genuinely is.

Mass-produced goods aren’t the enemy — misrepresentation is. There is space for all kinds of retail, but craft markets should celebrate creativity, skill, and the people who actually make what they sell.

At Curated Makers, quality comes first. We carefully curate our markets and our stores, to champion genuine makers and artists, protect customers, and keep the spirit of craft alive. That means asking questions, checking processes, and putting people — not profit — at the centre.

Supporting small businesses isn’t about being exclusive.
It’s about being honest, transparent, and intentional.

Craft markets should celebrate people who make — not just people who sell.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support independent makers. Your choices really do matter.

What a fabulous opportunity this was to showcase the work of, and to highlight our links with — having had the honour of hosting His Majesty last year at our market at ✨
Thank you for the platform, and to for putting me forward for this 🤍
