Our Eco Shop’s pop-up Christmas boutique opened in Westbourne Grove this week. A collaboration of UK designer-makers and small green companies have come together for the second year running to create the shop. From now until Christmas Eve, they will be selling a selection of fair trade, ethical and organic products from the boutique. BCSF was at the launch party last night to check things out. Alongside old favourites like Little Green Radicals and Izzy Lane, we discovered some exciting new ethical brands such as Harlands, an organic home furnishings company that makes chemical-free upholstered sofas, chairs and headboards.
It was good to see that even in the current financial climate, the shop was packed. And people weren’t just there for the delicious organic wine and nibbles - there were plenty of transactions taking place too! There’s a lot packed into the two-level shop. You can pick up everything from baby clothes, jewellery, stationery, beauty products to an electric cycle. It might be just the thing if you’re out looking for unique presents - many of the items on sale are one-off creations, and nothing in the shop is mass-produced.
Our Eco Shop is located at 303 Westbourne Grove, W11. Nearest tubes are Notting Hill Gate and Ladbroke Grove.
Opening times 10:00-18:00 (Mon-Sat), 12:00-17:00 (Sun), from November 10th until December 24th.

Wow! Beautiful wares! Wish I were in the UK. I have an organic baby clothes brand that collaborates with independent artists so it's always fun to see what others are creating outside of the pedestrian box. Thanks for sharing.
