Sam Smith, founder of award-winning Hello Time – a luxury stationery brand of award-winning planners, stationery and accessories – is one of the 13 brands in the new shop, which also includes beautiful homeware, candles, knitwear, children’s clothing and jewellery.

“It was a fantastic day,” said Sam. “The shop was buzzing all day with customers, friends and family. We had plant-based food and a special No.31 Cocktail from Nutmeg and Thyme. It is so fabulous to be running this shop with an awesome collective of women.”
