Brill as always

I couldn't run my business without this planner!

Lucy Critchley
Excellent quality and designs

Got myself the recipe book and one of the notebooks and the quality of the paper is great, as is the design. I'm happy to have found a good notebook I will be using for my daily journaling for now on.

Adriana
Great quality

I always try to buy what I would love to be gifted, and all the more so when the materials and production is entirely from the UK and small businesses. Everything from Holchester Designs ticks all of my boxes.

Essential organiser!

My lovely organiser arrived just in time - as I used the last page of my old one! I need one of these on the go for managing busy weeks - alongside the notepads in the same beautiful design.
Thanks, Rach!

Little gems

The wee square notebooks are cute and so useful. Lovely quality paper too

Fab quality

Lovely quality and great green credentials.

Lovely quality

The prints are lovely, the fabric quality first-class and they are beautifully made. All British too which is a big plus.

Vying for favourite

I love the Seascape design and think it could become my new favourite... though I do love Deco too! The pretty and practical notebook and small note pad are just what I need to cheer up a chilly January!

Val
Gorgeous patterns, exceptional quality

I have loved every item I’ve bought for myself or gifted! The planner pads keep me organised at work and add prettiness to my desk, I’d now not be without one.

Oh and make sure to subscribe , so lovely offers to take advantage of.

Beautiful stationery!

I picked up a notebook and notepad in Rachel’s back to school sale. The print quality and designs are beautiful, will definitely be buying again!

Emma Simmonds
Lovely notepad

I love this design and can't resist buying notepads and notebooks in it. Initially 'too special to actually use!' I quickly got over that and I really enjoy the smooth, quality paper and lovely designs which enhance my shopping lists or craft diary. Great presents - or treats for me!

Val
Lovely notebook and notepad set

This is a repeat order because I so love the Deco Delights design and quality

Val
The best planner

I love this planner so much - couldn't live my life without it!

Lucy Critchley

Lovely quality paper. Love the eco-credentials too.

My Creative Process

What does 'hand-illustrated' really mean?

I use the phrase 'hand-illustrated' and 'hand-drawn' a lot, but I also work digitally. So here's a breakdown of how those processes combine as I make my patterns and design my products (with no AI in sight).
