Independent Cambridge - contemporary home accessories

In a regular series of articles on this site, the Cambridge Network joins with Independent Cambridge to celebrate the fantastic range of independent organisations, businesses, retailers and artisans we have on our doorstep. Read this week about Design Essentials in nearby Saffron Walden.

 

One of the great benefits and satisfactions of shopping independently is the ability to buy something to reflect your individuality.

Wendy Howell, founder of Design Essentials, is passionate about finding outstanding home accessories and after a long and varied career in retail, has launched her own company to bring a fresh perspective to the home.

Design Essentials offers stylish, contemporary home accessories that are unique and unusual. Often sustainably sourced and all individually chosen by Wendy, many items are handcrafted by local artists and designers, showcasing and supporting their respective talents.  As Design Essentials works so closely with these artisans, your items may be customised to suit your own individual specifications.

In fact visiting Wendy’s studio space in Saffron Walden becomes a creative, fun experience in itself. Don’t forget to leave your own personal message on the big chalk board, it’s there for you to share your ideas and even create your own interiors wish list.

Wendy is always looking for innovative ways of working with others and supporting local shopping. So don’t be shy, check out what’s new on her website, follow her on Twitter or, for local shopping, on Facebook at Saffron Shop Local.
