Now that I don't work (tralala) mum and I were able to check out Design Made Trade on a week day. Fun. I thought last year's was a bit disappointing but I think it's come good again.
I was most excited when I saw the Uimi stall - I've just recently discovered this brand, and their range is just lovely. Make sure you check out the blankets! (yes I hassled the guy about not having an online store).
My other favorite was Sands Made. I'm already familiar with the range because my mum has worked with the guy behind it. The chopping boards have been floating around in our family kitchen for years, and Tim and I were given this beautiful bookstand as a wedding present.
Now his son is on board, and they've got a nice logo and accompanying website. It's really lovely stuff (and I think very reasonably priced).
They were my two favorites, the full Design Made Trade exhibitor list is here.
