Citizens of Soil

Founded in December 2020, Citizens of Soil is a brand for customers who care about quality, transparency, and sustainability.

Fielden

Fielden is the English whisky that’s changing farming. Most grain in England grown for whisky is done so industrially, with chemicals. Fielden is bringing England’s fields back to life by planting heritage grains that grew here centuries ago.The grain grows in clover, a natural fertiliser that helps the soil stay healthy. The fields are wild and glorious, and the whisky is full of flavour.

Gigi & Olive

The brand was launched by Georgie Le Roux in September 2019, offering a premium, personalised and unique edit of pieces, encompassing both house-designed items and curated products from female-founded brands. The company’s own line is aspirational, original and imbued with a mission to offer beautiful items that people will keep long after the party’s over.

Harrison Heritage Industries

From a modest seaside workshop in Kent, Harrison Heritage Industries has crafted a world-class reputation for exceptional charcoal and wood-fuelled ovens since 2016. Founded by Daniel and Natalie Thumwood, it’s a brand dedicated to traditional craftsmanship, performance and beauty, creating handmade-to-order appliances with the intention of each being passed down through the generations. Every component can effortlessly be replaced with a simple allen key – the epitome of sustainable design.

Huckleberry

Founded in 2020 by Matt and Claire Podesta, Huckleberry specialises in creating luxury outdoor kitchens and furniture. Handcrafted at workshops in the South of England with superb quality and attention to detail, Huckleberry makes garden products that combine FSC-certified solid oak and sustainably-sourced materials with timeless design. The result is a selection of outdoor furniture that prioritises long-lasting luxury at home, whether for city spaces or large country gardens.

Jukes Cordialities

Jukes Cordialities was founded by friends Jack Hollihan and Matthew Jukes in late 2019 when a ‘dry’ lunch together inspired them on a journey to create a genuinely sophisticated, alcohol-free alternative to fine wine. Over two years of experimentation using nearly 200 fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices and edible flowers, Jukes Cordialities launched its first two offerings – winning plaudits from London’s top chefs and sommeliers in the process.

Katto

Founded in the autumn of 2020, Katto crafts exceptional kitchenware using sustainable materials and – wherever possible – human hands. The business was started on the premise that people today want to own fewer, but better, things: things that make their days (and dinners) that little bit better. Now Katto is expanding to take over the rest of the kitchen cabinet, having recently launched cast-iron cookware, chopping boards and more.

Larry King

Larry King is a world-famous hair stylist known for his work with Vogue, GQ, and Vanity Fair. After the success of his first London salon, he launched Larry King Haircare with his wife, Laura, in 2018.

Otiumberg considers the environmental and social impact of the brand – every item is crafted from recycled or single mine origin sterling silver, gold vermeil or solid gold.

Poodle & Blonde

Launched in 2018, Poodle & Blonde is a luxury British interiors brand founded by Whinnie Williams, Creative Director, and Kierra Campbell, Managing Director. The pair’s original fabric and wallpaper designs take inspiration from the past, reviving and modernising old trends with sustainability in mind. The brand has built an impressive following and secured several notable collaborations, as well as a thriving trade business with clients including Soho House.

SHORE
