A SOMERSET textile manufacturer specialising in sustainable homeware has launched a pop-up shop in a Taunton store this month to help keen Christmas shoppers get ahead (November 2021).
Tica Lily from Somerton is displaying products in La Belle Boudoir in Riverside Place from Saturday to Tuesday, between 10am and 4pm, until December 21.
Tica Lily Director, Carole Champion says: “It’s great to be able to showcase our products at our first ever pop-up shop! We know that with all the uncertainty surrounding supply chains that Christmas shoppers are starting earlier this year and we can’t wait to provide them with our Somerset-made, handcrafted, sustainable products to help get them ready for the festive season whether they are looking for gifts or homewares to ensure their Christmas day table looks wonderful.
“We’ll be staffing the shop throughout November and December and look forward to meeting lots of Taunton residents seeking eco-friendly interior products, including stylish aprons, robes and tableware, that are produced by our small team of talented seamstresses in Somerton.
“Shopping locally has never been more important and where other larger stores might be struggling to get stock, ours has been made just down the road, so takes very few miles to get to the shop and is not subject to delays due to logistics or Covid, or any of the issues related with it coming from China or India. It’s also vital, with the current economic situation, to support small independent, British firms.”
Tica Lily uses sustainably sourced flax linen to create strong and durable products that get better with use and help to tackle the issue of fast fashion and excessive waste due to the short lifespan of synthetic products on the market.
After re-launching and re-branding in September 2021, the eco-friendly company expanded its product range to include robes, aprons, a range of tableware and more recently a collection of tea towels in a variety of colours.
Carmela Ricciardi-Powers, owner of La Belle Boudoir says: “It’s very exciting to have another small business joining us to showcase their products this festive season.
“We’ve enjoyed working with Tica Lily while setting up this pop-up shop, their products are beautiful and our customers are definitely falling in love with the look and feel of their luxury linen and are impressed that these products are British made and sustainable.”
Tica Lily also offers a mail order collection of environmentally sound, bespoke home and clothing textile products made in the UK.
Its range of mail order products includes linen cross-back and garçon aprons, napkins, coasters, tablecloths, placemats, cutlery holders and dressing gowns, with more items coming online soon.
