Our February photo review. 💚 A moment to pause and look back on what has been happening in the shop over the past month.

This time it includes refreshing The Fair Alternative display with new makers and artists, Easter displays starting to come together, new Miniml branding arriving on the shelves, a huge toilet roll delivery taking over the front of the shop, and a great refill moment using a mug for red lentils. ♻️
