Online shopping: Merchant and Mills haberdashery

Whilst we would never claim sewing to be our strongest suit, we just adore the brilliant graphics and utilitarian design of this haberdashery shop. They sell fabrics, patterns and sewing essentials, most of which are British-made such as their Sheffield pinking scissors (from the same factory that supplies Saville Row) and oilskin kit bags, all of which you can buy straight from their shop in Hay-on-Wye, their website or stockists in London such as the Design Museum and Liberty’s. Above all, we love that the website comes with the warning, ‘Please be cautious when looking as many of these things are very hard not to want!’
