Had a very bad experience as a trader here. Firstly, I paid £60 a month plus 22% commission for them to never - not once - pay me on time. Usually more than a week late. This was never accompanied by an email or anything to let me know that payment was going to be late, and they dodged my emails / calls. They also charged me for paying my invoice one day late (and they sent it to me a week late). I found Natasha to be very rude, often sending hostile emails about quality of products and became defensive when I asked why my payments were late. They also lost a box of my stock worth around £400. I found the space in the shop provided didn’t match the price I was paying in rent. Also received several mass emails about considering if your products were good enough for the store, and if you’re making enough money for the store. Overall, I found them unreliable, untrustworthy and very difficult to trade with. There are much better options for a crafter in Oxford.

The store itself is nice, the products are well made and there’s a fabulous range. The staff in the store are always very nice. It’s just such a shame that the people in charge are so hostile.

Lovely shop containing craft items made by small Artisan producers and displayed on separate tables. Prices are not outrageous either. Worth a visit to grab a special and different present for someone!

Such a wonderful little treasure trove of crafts. You can see the love, thought and detail that go into these items. A go to shop for my family for gifts, so nice to see a hand crafted shop rather than all of the tat shops popping up in Oxford now. I know where I’d rather spend my money!

A really funny, eclectic, artsy-fartsy shop with handcrafted and mass-produced items. Nevertheless, some of the items are guaranteed to make you smile. Staff are friendly.

Handmade crafts from small businesses! There were many things you can look around and buy and you can support local businesses! I bought a little ceramic house from @pixiespottery🙌
