The next time you dip your hand in your pocket, make sure you support these independent British brands. (You won’t be disappointed.)
In the age of social distancing, the days of sporadic shopping and mooching around are limited. Without access to fitting rooms and strict one-way systems in place in many shopping centres, it’s driving a lot of us to online shopping.
However, trying to buy a gift or a treat for yourself isn’t easy when there are millions of brands to choose from online.
To help solve this problem, we’ve done all the heavy lifting for you and assembled some of the best independent brands in the UK for the whole family to enjoy. This way, you’ll not only find something lovely to buy, but you’ll be supporting the best of British too.
Independent brands for babies and children
This UK independent brand offers beautiful children and adult unisex clothing and childhood linen memory book journals.
Claude & Co’s ‘Milking It’ range of bodysuits and leggings are made from 98% organic cotton rib and are super comfortable for your little rascal to explore in all day.
How many memories can you recall from your childhood? 5? 6? Possibly 10 at a push? The Colour Chronicles is a fantastic UK independent brand selling ‘The Book of You’ – a modern childhood journal and memory book for your kid to include all their favourite adventures in.
It’s a simple, yet utterly priceless way to savour their younger years.
Independent brands for women
While most things might be online these days, there’s still something very special about receiving something through the post.

If you’re looking for a gift with a special shine, Jacks Turner is the place to go. The independent brand from Bristol specialises in handmade, contemporary jewellery.
What we like the most about this independent jeweller is that they work closely with their clients to produce beautiful custom designs. It’s a level of personalisation you won’t get from a lot of other high street retailers, without paying a hefty fee.
