The North East abroad
I bought two tea towels for a friend who is moving to Cyprus, we have both moved away from the North East with work but love our home town. The quality is excellent and more importantly she loved them!

Easy to navigate the website

Canny, like
Lovely little small company bringing the love of the north of England to visitors and exiles around the world.
I’ve bought lots from here over the years, and this Christmas have some lightweight tree decorations winging their way to a northerner living in Australia. What summer Christmas tree would be complete without a Durham Cathedral bauble…?
Always great service. Highly recommended.

Lovely products
Beautiful Christmas decoration of Lindisfarne Castle which I purchased for Swedish friends as a memento of our trip there in the summer. Possibly even nicer than shown on the website.
