Gifts for people who turn a thing over to see who made it. Every label in this part of the Store belongs to a maker The Aficionados has written about: a Viennese hatmaker in its fourth generation, a Walsall bench with two Royal Warrants, a workshop in Krosno that brought hand-quilting back from the brink, and a Danish house still building Finn Juhl's chairs by hand.

Each brand has a page of its own, with the piece chosen for Christmas and the story behind it, and every purchase is made directly with the maker. They post from their own workshops, each with its own last date for Christmas, so it pays to order in good time.
