Hello and welcome
It’s been six years since Pins and Ribbons was launched....and we still get excited about every order that goes
out! So whether you’ve just discovered us, or have shopped with us before, we wish you a very warm welcome.
Pins and Ribbons is all about high quality home accessories that are made from start to finish in the UK. And
judging by the great response, it seems that lots of you support our vision too.
As well as a separate manufacturing unit, a successful website www.pinsandribbons.co.uk and our own
little interiors shop, we make things for small boutiques and major department stores throughout the country.
And whilst we’re blowing our own trumpet, we’ve got a string of awards and have appeared in lots of glossy
magazines too.
Yet despite beavering away at our sewing machines, we still have time to listen to your feedback and come up
with lots of new ideas. Our latest products include handcrafted fine furniture, coolie lampshades, donut pet
beds, monogram hearts and a new twist to our best-selling memo boards.
This little brochure will give you a flavour of our current range and choice of fabrics. There are lots more
pictures and inspirational ideas on our website too.
So, happy shopping!
