Lilli-popup are delighted to present a unique pre-christmas artisanal shopping event, launching at White Stuff on George Street this November. Lolli-popup is the brainchild of Edinburgh designer-makers Myer Halliday and Rebecca Wilson. It was borne out of a need to address a lack of opportunity on two fronts; firstly, a need for a prominent place in Edinburgh for small independent design businesses to bring their unique wares to the high street, and secondly, a lack of places for the eager Christmas shoppers of Edinburgh to access quality, contemporary handmade gifts that support their local makers community!
We are delighted to bring to George Street a selection of 20+ artisans, presenting real products made by real people to high street shoppers. Expect quality, contemporary, hand made wares; ceramic tableware, jewellery in a wide range of materials from resin to porcelain to silver and everything in between, luxurious printed silk scarves, ethical wooden lighting, vibrant prints and illustration…. it’s one stop for your entire Christmas shop. The makers will be present to talk you through their collections, help you find a perfect gift match for your loved ones, or even to create something bespoke just for you! Some will even bring their notorious ‘bargain boxes’ of clearance seconds and discontinued stock. So bypass the online giants this year, embrace the slow shopping movement by investing in a meaningful gift that means as much as the person you buy it from as the one you give it to!
