Every item tells a story

All of our items are 100% genuine artifacts, the medals once worn with pride, earned from defending one’s country with the guns, swords, and uniforms also on display. Costume jewellery and perfume bottles, worn by our ancestors to prepare for an evening out.

Items in our shops, some of which would have been bought with ration books during and following the wars. Shoes fixed by the cobbler or handcrafted toys that were once loved and played with by our Great Great relatives.
