WHO WE ARE
Our journey began in the summer of 2022, driven by a passion to support and collaborate with small businesses that share the same enthusiasm. We started with a small pop-up in London SE8, featuring 10 small businesses, and over the course of the year, our community steadily grew. By the end of 2024, we had worked with over 35 independent brands and artists, many of whom have become repeat collaborators.
After the success of our London pop-ups, we're thrilled to bring the essence of Stories online, offering everyone the chance to explore and shop our thoughtfully curated selection of creative and artisanal products. From slow fashion and sustainable accessories to sophisticated homeware and captivating art, you'll find a unique collection of distinctive items all in one place.
Currently we work exclusively with brands and artists we curated for our past pop-ups events. This ensures that you can trust the style and quality of our product selection, and have a seamless experience that resonates the essence with our unique pop-ups.

WHY WE LOVE SMALL BUSINESSES
PASSION
A small business owner typically sets out to sell a product or offer a service that is fuelled by passion.
AUTHENTICITY
Small business owners start their business because they’re truly passionate about something or see a problem to be solved. They want to make a change no matter how small the impact and are daring enough to try, and keep trying.
GENUINITY
They build real relationships with people and not just numbers.
COMMUNITY
Small businesses contribute to local economies by bringing growth and innovation to the community.
SHOP WITH PURPOSE
We curate the best independent brands so our customers don’t have to. All our brands are carefully selected to ensure that everything we sell is responsibly handmade or produced using ethical labour.
When you shop from our brands, you're not just making a purchase, you're:
• supporting creativity and craftmanship
• a meaningful community
• reducing your environmental impact due to less transportation costs and less waste (compared to shopping from large corporations.)
Join us in celebrating creativity and craftsmanship!
