On The High Street in Goosegate, Hockley, Nottingham

Wow ! This year has gone so quickly and we can't believe it's so close to Christmas now.

Luckily our lovely makers, designers and Christmas elves (and Christmas mice) have been hard at work and have brought us some wonderful products which are perfect as Christmas gifts.

Dezigne has now been On The High Street in Goosegate, Hockley, Nottingham for just over 3 years now and this will be our fourth Christmas here.

To keep you warm we have gorgeous, soft and elegant hand knitted scarves and shawls - all in range of colours and finished with a beautiful scarf pin.

We have one-off jackets by Velvet Blue -she takes a jacket or cape and transforms it with vintage lace, silks and other fabrics into a truly unique item of clothing. We also have tweed cuff bracelets and corsages -all embellished with lace, beads and feathers.

For the cyclists we have some fantastic T-shirts, mugs and prints by Helena Tyce Designs as well as goodies such as Owl & The Pussycat prints and plenty of Christmas cards all featuring her own unique illustrations and designs.

The Nottingham locals love the mugs, cotton bags, tea towels, cushions and signs by Letterjoy -all  featuring Nottingham dialect phrases and words (together with translations!) - great gifts for members of your family or friends from Nottingham who have moved away to other parts of the country or abroad.

There are fabulous Christmas cards by Daisy Cat Designs - many with wooden decorations that can be kept for years to come. A little gift in a card.

Moss Piglet has brought us an amazing range of earrings, pendants and rings all featuring original artwork by graffiti artists (who receive a percentage of any sales made). These will especially appeal to the younger generation with their fresh and funky designs.

For tech lovers we have handmade leather watch straps for the Apple iWatch in black, tan, dark red and brown.

We have Christmas decorations, jewellery, lampshades, handmade soy/natural wax candles and our lovely decorative star light bottles which look great on the table at any time of year.

Most of the items in our store are made in Nottingham, UK and of course we are On the High Street !

It was really quite sad that a new Poundworld store opened this week in a premium retail space in Nottingham City Centre. The city already has 6 pound stores -do we really need another?
Don't get me wrong, pound stores are great for buying basics such as toilet rolls and cleaning supplies but surely enough is enough.

On a far more positive note we visited the Christmas Market at Derby Roundhouse and it was absolutely packed - both with visitors and stalls.
This is the event's fifth year and it has certainly grown from three years ago when I went. There are far more exhibitors (about 100) and it has obviously built up a great reputation in the area.
The event is organised by Fabulous Places which seeks out and promotes independent  shops, cafes and makers.
It's great to see that handmade and artisan produce is very much appreciated by the shopping public. 
Outside the venue there was a food market and inside a great variety of cakes, artisan breads, locally brewed beers and cheese suppliers as well as jewellery, ceramics, glassware, Christmas decorations, etc.

We didn't get to see everything as the place was so crowded - thankfully not everyone wants to go to Primark and Poundland ! It helps to validate what we are trying to achieve at Dezigne - there is a market place for unique, handmade, good quality products - made locally!

So it's back to school today for most kids - so to cheer you up this is Florence -the doll I made recently with her school uniform and satchel. Her grey coat and pink and grey tartan dress and hat are 100% wool. Her satchel is real leather. Adorable!


She is available to buy from Dezigne.

So it's Father's Day on Sunday 17th June - what to buy ? 

Here's a perfect gift idea   - Handmade wooden pens in three colour choices by Richard Burrow

The Dezigne Shop also has other products from Richard such as adorable wooden owls and gorgeous wooden bowls and a very funky chair all made by his own fair hands !
