Instagram post 2185166911612761490_11135125307 As luck would have it @justacard #IndieWeek has started just as we released our independent & local christmas gift guide! We'll be sharing a few of our favourites on the grid this week and next, kicking off with the local as local can be @guild.goods who we had the good luck to meet at our last workshop! . Launching with this nifty enamel Preston pennant pin-badge, Rachelle's goal is to 'encourage that sense of pride' felt by those who live, work and study in the city, eventually aiming to design more products that can be produced by small local businesses – an enterprise to get behind if ever we heard one! 🖤 . #ShopSmall #ShopLocal #MDDLoves #ProudPreston
