Independent Wine is a UK specialist in premium Italian wine. We work directly with small award-winning family wineries in Italy, and stock some of the best Italian wines. Independent Wine is an online only shop. This helps to keep our overheads low, so we don’t inflate prices.

Saskia & Rose

Saskia & Rose was born in 2017 by two York girls, Suzanne and Francesca. We noticed the gap for a beautiful and affordable leather handbag brand that the busy woman (like ourselves) could throw all her precious belongings into and wear both day and night. With handbags still at the heart, Saskia & Rose has evolved over the years into jewellery including delicate bracelets, statement necklaces and watches. Our focus is to give our customer timeless investment pieces to cherish forever.

Greybear

At Greybear we sell a contemporary mix of old and new. The antique pieces are sourced from all over the UK and further afield to bring our customers a range of unique pieces. All our antique furniture is sourced and up cycled by Holly, most of which is painted in Farrow & Ball. She has a passion for interiors and antiques which she enjoys curating in a modern way giving the public an enjoyable shopping experience. Visit our newly designed website which is being updated daily to include all our beautiful items for Christmas.

Maxwell-Scott

The British luxury leather company, Maxwell-Scott, offers a vast selection of premium leather gifts for men and women. The product range includes handbags, business bags, luggage, wallets, purses and more luxury leather goods. Every single Maxwell-Scott item is lovingly handcrafted from premium full grain leather by skilled artisans in Italy.

As a member of the Genuine Italian Vegetable-Tanned Leather Consortium, Maxwell-Scott’s cowhides are dyed with tannins derived from tree bark rather than toxic substances. This means that there is a respectful and natural finish to all Maxwell-Scott leather which only improves with age as it develops a unique patina over time. So you can be assured that the quality and craftsmanship will be greatly received, this Christmas season.
