Press and Reviews
We're delighted to be one of Deborah Meaden's 'Twelve Tweets of Christmas' supporting British handmade. She describes madebyhandonline as "representing some real talent".
"Support British makers and buy beautiful items without leaving the house" BBC Homes and Antiques magazine.
We launched madebyhandonline at the beginning of December 2010 and we've been so pleased with the response. It's lovely to receive happy messages from our Makers and our customers and to see our Makers work featured in the national press. Here are a few lovely comments:
"We were really pleased when Sarah & Katie asked us to join madebyhandonline. There was definitely a need for a website that promoted and sold the work of british designer makers. The website is easy to use and has good information about the products and the makers, and the new resources section makebyhand is a great idea. Since joining the site we have had good sales and it's lovely to work with Sarah & Katie and to be a part of madebyhandonline." pachadesign
"I would just like to say how happy I am to be part of the community of Madebyhandonline. I was overjoyed when I was accepted to be part of a group of talented and respected makers, showcasing their stunning products, selling direct to the public online. I was a little daunted to begin with, but I have received nothing but 100% support from Sarah and Katie. Uploading my photographs onto my site is extremely easy and communication is first class. Nothing is too much trouble for them. My sales have been very good and for a very young business, up against a great deal of competition, I have nothing but praise. I cannot recommend applying to be part of madebyhandonline enough. The ethos of madebyhandonline is a quality experience for all concerned." Viv Sliwka from Hens Teeth
"Since joining MBHO I have been encouraged by some good sales, and all important feedback from customers too. The site is easy to upload to and to update, and help is always on hand if needed. I like the layout -its very polished and professional and I think my work sits well on it... MBHO is definitely a good place to be and attracts the right client base for my work." Jeweller Henrietta Fernandez
