Lulu et Compagnie, a handmade self-care brand, is collaborating with nail bar Mollycoddle to host a weekly market at 56 St Giles Street. The market will take place every Sunday and Monday from October 15 to December 16, operating between 10am and 5pm. Agnes Leggett, the founder of Lulu et Compagnie, has been crafting for a decade and has always dreamt of having her own shop. However, due to the current circumstances, she settled on the idea of a pop-up shop.
The market aims to add a local touch to people’s Christmas shopping and showcase the talents of Norfolk. It will feature a variety of businesses, with 18 makers and crafters already confirmed. These vendors will offer a diverse range of products, including jewelry, self-care items, paintings, and drawings. Ms. Leggett believes that people often assume that quality products have to be expensive, but she wants to debunk this misconception and demonstrate the unique and affordable options available in Norwich beyond the big retailers.
For the duration of the market, Mollycoddle’s shop will be transformed into a vibrant hub where people can discover and support local artisans. It will provide an opportunity for customers to find one-of-a-kind gifts and support the local economy, while also giving crafters a platform to showcase their talents and connect with the community. The market will run during the festive season, making it an ideal destination for those looking for thoughtful and meaningful presents for their loved ones.
In a time when many small businesses are struggling due to the impact of the pandemic, events like the Lulu et Compagnie market provide a lifeline for local artisans. By bringing together a diverse range of makers, the market offers a unique shopping experience and an opportunity to support the creativity and craftsmanship that exist within the local community. Additionally, the market’s focus on self-care items also aligns with the increasing importance placed on wellness and personal well-being. Visitors can not only find beautiful and unique products but also contribute to their own self-care practices during the holiday season.
