Herne Hill Market




Stripey Squirrel is a unique little clothing line for babies and toddlers, all about saving waste, upcycling and reusing lovely fabrics and materials that need a new lease of life. They make everything themselves using second hand and pre-loved clothing so each piece is one of a kind.

There's a wide selection of trousers, leggings, skirts, shorts and tops ranging from new born sizes to approximately 4 years old. They also love doing commissions using that old jumper or dress you have gathering dust in your wardrobe and transforming it into something for a special little person!

Check out their website or Etsy shop to see the range or to get it touch, or follow them on Facebook.

Le Grappin

Herne Hill market. Also a guest producer at Alexandra Palace market.



Andrew and Emma Nielsen are small, artisan winemakers from Burgundy, France. Splitting their time between their home in London and their ancient winery beneath the walls of Beaune, they make all of their wines by hand, aiming for wines that are expressive and delicious, from under appreciated vineyards in Burgundy and Beaujolais. In the past year, they have been named one of the “Top 25 Négociant Winemakers in Burgundy” by Master of Wine, Tim Atkin and a “Top 10 Unsung Winemaker” by Burgundy expert, Bill Nanson.

Their Du Grappin range of wines are made with Summer days in mind and are available by refillable bottle, #Bagnum and Bag-in-Box; packaging that reduces carbon foot-print by up to 80% compared to traditional glass and is wallet-friendly too. Pay a small deposit for a refillable bottle or bring your own sealable bottle of any size from home and leave with hand made Rosé, Rouge or Blanc. Headed to the park? Don’t forget to ask for an ice cold #Bagnum.

Galeta

Alexandra Palace and Herne Hill markets.




In 2011 with but a bundle of hand baked treats and a humble market stall, two sweet toothed pioneers sought to change the baked good trade of London - and did.

Today the Galeta range boasts eight flavours of cookies, a wide selection of yummy cakes, the infamous cronut, award winning brownies and pasties de natas. All products are still baked by hand using 100% natural ingredients.

True to their roots, Galeta can be found at several farmers markets as well as delivering daily to more than 200 delis, cafes, restaurants and doorsteps across the UK.
