The four floors of this unusual city-centre building are filled with an enormous range of traditional and innovative items. There is a ground entrance floor, and a lower ground floor. The two upper floors are the mezzanine and then the top fourth floor.

The design of the store inhibits taking sensible photographs that give justice to the store The photographs shown are representative only and are intended to give you a flavour of what we are about. It will not replicate the full impact of the store; if this is unacceptable to you as a potential supplier - then please visit!

To paraphrase William Morris...
"...have nothing in your store that you do not like, find beautiful or useful..."

with apologies!!

Starting at the bottom we have a lower ground floor which houses stationery, with a large range of greetings cards from small to medium sized publishers. Cards are only displayed full face and again ranges are grouped to maximize impact. We carry everyday and occasions but not dedicated cards.
There are also displays of luxury gift wrap, gift bags and gorgeous ribbons and tissue.
