Our award-winning bookshop is themed on strong women and is located in the village of Haworth, home of the Bronte sisters. It is filled with beautiful & unique items for all ages. From Suffragette, Feminist and LGBT items to beautiful stationery, our stock is designed by inspiring women, some local, some further afield but all in the UK.
In her workroom on the first floor of our shop in Haworth, Diane designs and hand makes clothes with a unique twist for children using the most striking and gorgeous fabrics.
