THE Wonderland Collective is all about bringing delightfully unique products to West Londoners, and after providing the best Christmas presents during its successful stint at Ealing Christmas Market, the collective is back for an eight-week pop up on Acton High Street.
Launching on Wednesday, February 8, Ealing’s favourite designers and businesses will join hands to take over an entire shop unit next to the popular George and Dragon pub.
The pop-up will once again present Ealing and beyond, with a one-stop shopping haven for the countless present-giving affairs we all face throughout the year.
The likes of Mala & Bunga, Charlotte Berridge and Handmade in Ealing have come together alongside The Wonderland Collective’s usual selection of designers, and with the support of Ealing Council, will create this special store to showcase the very best Ealing has to offer.
Customers will be able to peruse the likes of Catherine Colebrook’s stunning textiles and ceramics, Tessa Galloway’s beautifully detailed London illustrations and Karin Akesson’s homewares and prints, which emphasise the sunny things in life, plus new additions of stylish products from Katie Housley and TUTTI & Co.
Joining these talented designers is Ealing based print maker Charlotte Berridge, who will be showcasing her West London designs with a focus on Chiswick and Ealing, incorporating the streets, parks, bridges and buildings that make them unique.
Charlotte will also be creating her first Acton print to launch at the shop, adding to her hugely popular range that is already loved by many Londoners.
Mala and Bunga, West Londoner Raman Glazier’s ever changing collection of gorgeous silver and gold jewellery will add a sparkle to the pop-up, with products from the likes of Ashiana London, Anna & Nina, Rachel Jackson and Louise McLeod.
Handmade in Ealing’s one-woman band will be providing the sweet touch to this exclusive experience, with her mouth-watering treats from chocolates to truffles, all made by hand in West London.
With Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day on the horizon, there could not be a better place to pick up the perfect gift which comes from the heart.
The pop-up will also feature a series of shopping evenings called Ealing Bites.
Running on Thursday evenings, they will feature bite sized talks and demos from local businesses on a range of subjects and a chance to ‘meet the makers’ involved in the Wonderland Collective.
The first event will be on Thurs 23rd Feb and features former journalists Paola Tich and Mike Taylor from neighbourhood wine shop Park + Bridge, which won Time Out’s #LoveLondonAwards for Acton in 2016, discussing ‘Turning your idea into a business’.
Future events include a chocolate workshop by Handmade in Ealing and a Social Media Masterclass from Ealing Mums in Business
