Shop in the Spotlight: Independent Boutique

It's not the catchiest of names, but Independent Boutique promises to have the best independent British brands under one (internet) roof. With a claim like that, I had to have a snoop with a cuppa this morning. I'm also singing the Toys R Us theme tune.

This handmade ruffled leather clutch is by Karrah Designs and it's just £30. It's such a gorgeous colour. and the leather looks super soft.

Could Comfort Station jewellery be any more swoonsome? This silver charm bracelet has the geographical co-ordinates for the Devonshire town of Hope. This would make the most wonderful gift (for me). It's £88.

This cord print dress is by Alice Takes a Trip. I'd never heard of them until this morning. They're a little bit quirky and will basically make getting dressed much easier. Especially when you go out on Saturday morning and don't come home until Sunday night. This is £68.

This is just a peek into a huge collection of designers. Independent Boutique is a bit like Etsy-meets-ASOS Marketplace-meets Joy. The prices are varied - I can't afford everything in the shop but it's not all so expensive that it makes me eyes water. It's going straight into my bookmarks. After I've treated myself to that handbag.
