Since the beginning of 2020, John Lewis tells us, the search for 'made in the UK' has tripled on their website, demonstrating the trend that we had already noticed: that shoppers are increasingly looking to buy locally-sourced products.
So, while you might think about John Lewis as quintessentially British already, you may not be quite aware of the UK brands and people behind their locally-made products – those companies large and small, John Lewis say, who continue to invest in their artistry and belong to a country-wide network of makers creating lasting designs.
'Our Made in the UK edit is a chance to shine a spotlight on the beautiful craftsmanship created in the UK behind the products that we sell at John Lewis,' comments Nicola Waller, Partner & Head of Home Furnishings. 'We hope by shining a light on them, we can aspire and nurture further collections for the future and highlight locally produced products to our customers. The edit is a real chance to celebrate UK makers across a wide range of products.'
Let us give you a guided tour: from their own brand wallpaper and textiles to branded lighting and pottery, there are lots of stories to tell. You can – by the way – find all our best-of buying guides and shopping stories on our dedicated page, or simply scroll to see the John Lewis edit.
