Emily's Favourite Pieces From The Chuffed Store

“I’m tempted to buy two of these scarves. One to tie in my hair and another to frame and hang pride of place in my flat. I suggest you do the same”

“Sexy and Gorgeous- This name is brilliant. We should all be dousing ourselves in Sexy & Gorgeous day and night. And if it doesn’t make you feel either of those things, surely it will put a big, fat smile on your face”

“Sally’s blankets are woven with British wool from British sheep and evoke the colours of the British Isles. All in all a very winning combination. I would like two, one to wrap around myself post sea swim, one to wrap around myself on the sofa”

“I am very excited about getting my hands on this bag. It is too chic for words and made all the more so by the fact it’s handmade in the UK. Although I think it has a decidedly Parisian feel to it – it’s a bag for slinging over your shoulder as you saunter nonchalantly around the city while everyone looks at you wondering – ‘Is that Jane Birkin?’.”

“The joyful mix of shapes and symbols in Claire Cartwright’s wall hangings have a distinctly Matisse-ish feel to them. The design was inspired by a cycling trip from Calabria to the Dolomites so owning one of these is as good as looking through a window to Italy.”

Katja Huth's collages are full of magic, wonder and humour

“I love this nubby little ear cuff from Robyn Smith. I like my jewelry to look like it’s been plucked out of the earth – a little bit battered and loved. All of Robyn’s beautiful designs fit this (slightly eccentric) brief perfectly.”
