December
Welcome to our website, and I’d like to wish you a jolly festive season!
If you're having a browse on our website for the first time, I hope you find something that you like? If there’s something sold that you’re interested in then get in touch as I can always make another, it’ll never be exactly the same but it’ll be a unique piece just for you!

It’s the month of giving and I’m hoping that some of the gifts you may have purchased will be from independent makers?

It really does make a difference if you’ve shopped ‘small’ and have chosen a present that’s been hand crafted rather than mass produced!

At Mitchell-Finch we aim to give you something that’s different, either hand printed using letterpress to produce a card or poster or something stitched using free motion embroidery & hand stitching.

November & December saw us at two markets along with our odd days spent looking after CraftCo the shop in Southwold. It’s been an up & down time as I think everyone is feeling the pinch but if you do choose to spend your hard earned wage on something unique I’m sure it will be appreciated!

It goes without saying that we hope your Christmas is a peaceful one and that 2026 is good for you!

Now for some down time before the making starts again.

An important piece of news is with regret we will not be able to ship to Europe or Northern Ireland.

Coming into force on 13 December 2024 the EU General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) means to continue to sell to the EU & N Ireland, we would have to pay over £100 per product for new safety testing regulations and employ an EU agent, which costs a great deal, as a named point of contact to oversee this. As a small partnership we cannot afford this. If we didn’t comply with these new rules it could mean 12 months in prison and/or a fine up to £20,000. This is a risk that we cannot afford!

Apologies for the above news, it’s not what we want but our hands are tied. We are also unable to ship to the USA but are hoping this may change?

If you want to know where CraftCo is or you haven’t visited Southwold before then find us at 40A High Street, Southwold, Suffolk. We are up near Adnam’s Cellar & Kitchen shop and diagonally opposite FatFace.
We share the shop space with Tourist Information, so if you need to find out more about what’s happening in the area, please pop in?

Look out for more information on where we'll be and what we're up to on Instagram.
