Things British was created to support and promote a community – a thriving network of designer makers and creative businesses from all corners of Britain. From ceramics to furniture, jewellery to glass, metalwork to textiles - our partners played a massive role in the social, cultural and artistic history of Britain. For centuries Britain was a nation of makers and manufacturing. In these modern times, however, life is very different indeed.
Practical making skills that formed the basic fabric of our society are disappearing and have all but been replaced by mass production and a society where a "disposable" attitude had become almost standard. It is only in recent times that people have started to think seriously about reviving and preserving these skills - before they are lost forever.
Out of a population of more than 60 million people, less than 0.01% professionally practice making skills today.
Our partners are a part of our culture and society that need to be recognised and celebrated. British creativity has started to grow and bloom over the last few years. Things British aims to help support, nurture and preserve British manufacturing skills and jobs and to celebrate our ever-evolving British cultural society. Things British is an innovative, contemporary new business designed from the start to help and support British businesses by providing a much-needed network of retail shops and support.
Things British aims to become the largest retail brand destination for gifts made in Britain, unique and special, backed by an appreciation from the public that eagerly wants to support and buy British.
Things British - the place to buy and sell British-made gifts. #rentshelfspace #artisans #makers #smallbusiness #bigbusiness #madeinGB
