Hello Polly
Why I like it: You’ll find bespoke homewards, unique, inspirational artwork and design from independent artists.

Finnish Design Shop
Why I like it: Its the largest online retailer of Finnish design products in the world. It stocks over 70 brands including Iittala, Arabia, Artek, and Marimekko, among others.
About the shop: Finnish Design Shop was established in 2004 out of passion for Finnish and Scandinavian design. Our mission was – and still is – to share the best of Nordic design with you. Since the beginning we have been introducing both classic Scandinavian design icons as well as fresh new designs by the younger generation.
The cornerstone of our philosophy is to offer a handpicked selection of items from well-established brands as well as young emerging designers. By blending classic with new we hope to make our selection more interesting for you as well as helping young designers take the first steps of their career.
Madewell
Why I like it: Effortlessly cool pieces for a timeless style without breaking the bank. Plus: it has a really great denim collection.
About the shop: We’re Madewell. Great jeans are our thing — but we also work to perfect all the pieces you wear with them like soft tees, slouchy button-downs, have-forever totes, and boots that get better with age. Madewell’s roots date back to 1937 and we’re constantly taking inspiration from the brand’s workwear beginnings. You’ll find these references in our design’s details: Selvedge edges, hand distressing, monograms. Those are the things that make us Madewell.
Tine K Home
Why I like it: Think Scandinavian simplicity mixed with Asian, French and Moroccan flavours.
About the shop: Danish homewares brand Tine K Home was founded in 1999 by Tine Kjeldsen and her husband Jacob Fossum. The couple lives on Funen with their three children Klara, Tilde and Konrad.
The Tine K Home Collection is based on Tine K’s passion for beautiful objects, sweet memories, different cultures, and great stories. The Collection includes interior, textiles, furniture, and accessories from own designs or as unique findings from different journeys abroad in Vietnam, Morocco, India etc. With her passion for ‘cold’ colors, the Scandinavian simplicity is combined with handmade items and charming objects from different cultures which altogether creates a warm and cozy atmosphere.
EQ3
Why I like it: Modern, affordable home furnishings for every room in your home, with simple and functional design.
About the shop: As a Canadian furniture brand, EQ3 designs, manufactures and sells its own products. We have 12 stores in Canada and the US, with additional stores and studios around the world.
