welcome to our website
August
Welcome to our website, and apologies if you’ve visited and found that we’ve not updated our pages!
If you're having a browse for the first time, I hope you find something that you like? If there’s anything 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 been a busy few months with making and working in Craftco which is s craft co-operative with a shop in Southwold on the East coast! The shop has been on the high street for over 30 years and many people visit knowing that they will find something from an East Anglian maker.
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 and Craftco 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. Plus in the shop, ceramics, baskets and beautiful prints!
Events coming up are FolkEast on the weekend of 21,22 & 23 August, it’s a great weekend with so much to see and do and of course, music!
Other events are Old Hall Christmas Fair near Southwold and The Grand Bazaar at The Cut in Halesworth. Dates to be confirmed!
You can also find our work in Converge a beautiful little store in Church St Framlingham.
We still can’t ship to Europe but I’m hoping that it may change in the future? Thank you Brexit! This really has had an impact on our takings and saddens us as we did have some customers in Europe and the USA!
Below sets out why, at present, we can’t send to the EU!
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.
