Designer Katie Alice of Katie Alice was delighted to introduce her first UK made products on her stand at Exclusively last week (August 24-25). Katie’s wildlife mugs are manufactured in Stoke, while her new kitchen textiles are also made in Staffordshire. “I’m keen to keep up the tradition of British ceramics manufacturing,” says Katie.
From a little further afield but still using European manufacturing expertise, Katie also launched a range of trays that are handmade in Sweden.
On the theme of UK manufacturing, Planit Products says 65% of its products are made in Malvern, UK, including its Toastabags, Microwave Steam Bags and Compostable Microwave Steam Bags.
