Curated Makers is a new pop-up store inside Trinity shopping centre that is centred around the idea to ‘ think big, shop small’.
The locally-designed gifts and homeware items will be available until Christmas and have been created by forty different creatives.
The store is located opposite Moss Bros on the ground floor inside Trinity Leeds shopping centre, but this isn’t the first time that Curated Makers have hosted a store in Trinity.
Founder Megan Jones, has brought local artists to the high street since 2017 and has been made thoroughly welcomed by the city.
On the Trinity website, the new store is described as “the destination to explore shelves filled with unique and discover beautiful products, all created with local magic.”
Local makers are also regulars in the store, so if you’re lucky, you might even get to meet one of the designers and ask them about the inspiration and process of working with the Curated Makers store.
The majority of designs are centred around Leeds and West Yorkshire, with phrases like ‘ey up‘ and ‘mardy bum‘ available in mugs and prints.
There are also meticulously-designed pieces of jewellery and enough scented candles and soaps to give high-street giants like Lush and Yankee Candle fair competition over the festive period.
The Trinity store is only one of five in England at present, with other pop-up stores located in Meadowhall Sheffield and John Lewis Cheadle.
Curated Makers will also be opening in additional John Lewis stores across the country, including Oxford Street, Cribbs Causeway and Solihull.
Their instagram-worthy store have been described by customers as “almost like visiting a museum of beautiful things, but getting to take some of them home with you – and who wouldn’t love that!“
The store is open 9am – 8pm Monday to Saturday and opens 11am – 5pm on a Sunday.
