Favourite Makers Paperdolls Winter Market


We're back at the Paperdolls Handmade Winter Market this November 12 and 13. It takes place over two days where there will be around 50 stalls and workshops by small independent makers. You'll be able to meet the team and shop Oh My Clumsy Heart jewellery in person.

If you want to avoid big brands with unethical practices; craft markets are a great way to discover independent designer-makers who make original handmade gifts. They are much more likely to prioritise eco-friendly habits and sustainable practices too. Visiting handmade markets is the perfect opportunity for you to buy holiday gifts, make sustainable purchases, and support small businesses.

By choosing to shop small and buy handmade, you'll know exactly who made your gift and how. Your money helps support the local community, and keep a small business alive. This is why buying handmade and supporting small businesses is so important.

Save the date! We can't wait to meet you at the Paperdolls Market. We've been browsing the market directory and have picked out our favourite makers and must-visit stalls below. Add a reminder to your calendar if you don't want to miss out!
