THANK YOU LEYTON!!!! 🩷💚🩷💚🩷💚 for coming to our South Asian heritage month pop up, first time ever in !!

a lot of thought went into designing flyers (yes... the host (Naila Ahmad | Block print artist | textile designer | est 2016)'s daughter happens to also be a graphic designer), and also collaboeating on our ALL-NEW coptic bound notebook range 🩷🩷🩷🩷

The town showed up and supported all of the lovely south Asian owned independent small businesses (even in the heat)!! 🥹🫶🏼

due to high demand of the notebooks --
we have decided to produce more in the most fun designs that I'm lowkey sad I can't keep them for myself 😭

and you can most certainly grab these up this weekend 18th July at Walthamstow community hub, just a 9 min walk from Walthamstow central station 🚉

And thank you to all the lovely bunch of traders who made it such a positive and vibrant space to trade alongside!:

a (not so) hot take on this dress featured on stylist mag's website (honest opinion as a brown girlie)
