NEWSFLASH!
The November give away is here!!
The competition closes and the winner is announced on 30th November - details below!
THE MISSION - To promote fellow indie designers and tell everyone about their wonderful work and just how amazing they are. So what!? Why are we different? We have noticed that despite a high demand, there is lack of free representation for Indie designers in the UK, there are plenty of US sites, but what about when you want to reach an audience closer to home? So we are making it our business to fill the gap and get you designers and crafters seen - for free! Not from the UK but want to reach out to a new market? Thats ok, we'd love to feature you too.

THE ETHOS - Everyone benefits buying handmade. Fact. We know this and by the time we're finished the world will know it! Partners in Crime is about spreading the 'handmade' word, so come on - shout about it with us! We know that we don't know it all, and are always open to your suggestions to improving the site, so don't be shy.

THE PRODUCTS - Everything and anything handmade - the more unusual the better, we love discovering something completely different

Remember we need to work together to spread the word, so when you've been featured, tell everyone you know, to tell everyone they know, by linking back to us here, and before we know it- the whole world will know all about YOUR craft!

Zouzou Designs

Zouzou Designs is home to these amazing Russian and Japanese lavender dolls. A couple of years ago Caroline decided to combine her love of sewing with her love of Russian dolls and Kokeshi dolls. She thought it would be a great idea to fill them with lavender too, for its relaxing and stress relieving properties.

The dolls are all handmade from original designs and patterns using good quality new and recycled materials. Choose between lavender or polyester filling. Due to import/export regulations, lavender cannot be sent from the UK to destinations outside Europe. However, dolls with polyester filling love to travel and can be shipped anywhere in the world!

You can buy these little dolls at - http://zouzoudesign.etsy.com/

Claire Fearnley from FeltLikeStitchin creates these very fun hand stitched DiDi Dolls
There are so many choose from she make monsters and animals and even celebrities!

Claire says "My Mr Potato Head DiDi Dolls are unique felt versions of my favourite childhood toy. Each one I make is different because I like to randomly plonk the features on the face - just like when I was a kid! . . .

. . . This is Squiffi the Beer Monster he is one for the guys (and a few of us girls lol!) Every time I look at him his swirly eyes make me laugh"
Its the Russian Dolls (pictured at the top) that are my favourite item, and the classiest item in Claire's shop. The smallest one is only 1.75" tall and ever so sweet.
Claire would like to inform you all that - Elvis lives in her shop, along with Audrey Hepburn and Charlie Chaplin! These just have to been seen, head over to her website or Etsy store to get yours now, these little DiDi Dolls are international jet setters and will happily be shipped worldwide!
