Welcome

Stòr has a simple idea behind it, and the shop says it in its own words: a product should be for life, or at least a very long time.

Everything on Broughton Street has been chosen on that basis.

The baskets are what you notice first. They’re made by hand from willow, and there are shoppers, log baskets, picnic baskets, foraging trugs and small ones for children. Round them are beeswax candles, pottery, things for the kitchen and the larder, wooden toys, and shelves of books and journals. The work comes from more than fifty groups of makers, in Scotland and across northern Europe.

There are fresh cut flowers by the door from Aspen Florals, the shop’s sister business, and now and then a workshop in wreath making or candle dipping. Nathalie and Jacek, who run it, began as Travelling Basket, and Stòr is what that grew into. It’s open every day.
