This store is literally a revelation. You will find everything you could imagine in miniature size. There is also a fine selection of places to stick your miniatures, kind of like diorama settings.

They basically cut out the crap and sell the good shit actual artists want at a decent price. They do still carry nicer student watercolors (like Cotman) if you just want something to mess around with out in the city but professional level isn't what you're after.

The London Bead Company's humble little shop front belies a colossal inventory that lies beyond. I can't imagine needing to go anywhere else when you have practically every type of Italian, Czech, silver and seed bead in the world on it's books. Never mind the whole section of the shop devoted solely to Swarovski crystals. The real clincher though, is that this place is also a haven for the keen sewer and embroiderer alike; step into the tardis-like back room and there are several hundred varieties of ribbons, silks, buttons, fabrics, yarns and more. A one stop shop for the crafter if ever I've seen one.

There are some other things like polymer clay (but probably for bead making purposes), fabric dye, bolts of fabric, sewing accessories, but not too much of a selection of any of those.

I am writing this review in large part through the eyes of Mrs G!!!…read more It must truly be a unique specialist store. In a swanky part of town (Marylebone - perhaps our favorite neighborhood currently) and about 10 minutes walk from the hustle and bustle of Oxford St. It is a very inviting store in the corner very close to a favorite London restaurant of ours - the Ivy. On enterIng you are virtually bathed in ribbons, fabric, trims and everything your heart desires to design that unique hat or fascinater (I think that is the right term) for a wedding or for Royal Ascot. Owner (especially) and staff are super friendly and helpful. Downstairs lots of other crazy decorative fixings and this is the space where they run their sessions and workshops Definitely worth a visit if you are into this kind of thing - definitely the best in class!

I love tying a bit of ribbon in my ponytail and this small shop in Marylebone has an incredible selection ranging from velvet, grosgrain and gingham to striped, spotted and satin. It's also a lot cheaper than Liberty, where I did my last London ribbon buying spree. For less than £7 I got six new ribbons I'm excited to tie in my hair. V V Rouleaux is a must visit if you're into ribbons, trimmings or lace.

As we know, indie shops can be hit or miss, since they tend to fit the owner's tastes...but I have to say, this shop had me wanting to buy ALL THE THINGS and start up many new crafts. (Restrained myself, as I had limited luggage space and Parisian craft shops on the itinerary.) Yarn and apparel fabrics were the main attractions for me--I picked up some cotton that later became a skirt, and a couple balls of bulky British yarn that are now keeping a friend's head warm in Toronto. I also added notions, markers, iron-ons, and paper goods to my craft arsenal. (I don't normally do paper stuff but how could I not buy giant cross-stitch paper??) I was super impressed by the machine parts collection--who knew that many feet existed?! I probably walked the whole store 3x to make sure I wasn't missing anything I couldn't live without. Anyway, amazing stock aside, the owner is incredibly sweet & kind. We had a nice little chat about the shop, and she graciously shared some business tips. Since that visit, I've been following her Instagram and *really* wish I had managed to take a class when I was in town. (Now I know for next time!!) The shop is bright, cheery, inviting, and beautifully pulled together. If you're in London and you or someone you love is a crafter, swing by this store. You're bound to find something(s) wonderful.
