Along with our smaller neighbouring towns, we’re also very close to some slightly bigger cities such as Bath & Bristol, which are both great fro scenic views and wonderful architecture. While it’s great to be so close to some of the bigger high street stores, it’s also important to us to find and support the hidden gems of the city. The places where the customer service is impeccable, the knowledge is varied and the products are unique. We’ve rounded up our favourite stores in Bath for your visiting pleasure.
HAY
The HAY store is a Danish design mecca, a modern shop that we love to visit every time we’re in the Bath area. The contemporary design brand works with some pretty huge designers and you may have recently seen their new bag design for IKEA! From their functional furniture to their huge range of super trendy accessories and seemingly never ending scissor collection, it’s amazing to have such a design-led store, with the complete collection of products so close to us.
