About Us

Hello, I'm Holly, the owner of Handmadebyhollyuk & Friends and the maker behind Handmadebyhollyuk.

After years of selling my handmade jewellery online and at craft fairs across East and West Sussex, I opened Handmadebyhollyuk & Friends in December 2024 with a simple vision: to create a welcoming space where customers could discover beautiful handmade products while supporting talented independent makers from across the UK.

Over the years, I've built strong relationships within the handmade community and am passionate about championing small creative businesses. Today, the shop is home to a carefully curated collection from over 30 independent UK makers, featuring jewellery, artwork, homeware, accessories, gifts and seasonal products.

One of the things that makes Handmadebyhollyuk & Friends unique is our ever-changing curation of independent UK makers. Every three months, the collection evolves as new makers join the shop and others move on, ensuring there's always something fresh to discover. While some makers remain for multiple curations, others are featured for a limited time, making each visit a little different from the last.

Every maker is personally selected to ensure the shop offers high-quality, unique products that you won't find on the high street. During their curation, makers are stocked exclusively with us in Worthing, giving customers the opportunity to discover brands that aren't available elsewhere locally.

At the heart of the shop is my own Handmadebyhollyuk jewellery collection, featuring colourful, affordable and quirky designs created to bring a little joy to everyday life.

More than just a gift shop, Handmadebyhollyuk & Friends is a celebration of creativity, craftsmanship and small businesses. Every purchase directly supports independent makers and helps creative businesses continue to thrive.

Whether you're searching for the perfect gift, a treat for yourself, or something completely unique, I'd love to welcome you into the shop.

If you pop in and I'm not there, you may be greeted by Tracy, my amazing mum, who helps out in the shop most weekends and is on hand to welcome customers and help them find the perfect gift!

Thank you for supporting my small business and the talented makers who stock with us.
