Meet The Stockist: Tinsmiths, a thoughtfully curated shop in Ledbury
Hello, Anna here , introducing a new feature on the Hadley Blog: our Stockist Spotlight!
We feel incredibly fortunate to be stocked by such a wonderful community of independent shops across the UK and beyond, so I thought it would be great to start sharing a little more about them all! Through this series I'll be offering a glimpse into the spaces, stories and people behind the shops that champion Hadley so beautifully.
I'm delighted to begin with Tinsmiths in Ledbury.
Tucked away in the market town of Ledbury, Tinsmiths is a long standing Hadley stockist. A shop that feels truly considered, thoughtful and timeless. Founder Phoebe Clive has a deep appreciation and reputation for choosing pieces that last, both in quality and design.
Come and discover why Tinsmiths loves stocking Hadley, what sells well for them, how their customers respond and how they style the Hadley collections.
Q. Why do you love Hadley?
A. "We have been stocking Hadley Paper Goods at Tinsmiths for a little while now, and we love them!
One of the pleasures of stocking Hadley products is the evident delight they spread and the conversations they generate at the shop counter. Tales of who or what the cards are for, or stories about a happy memory the illustration has provoked".
Q. What is your best selling Hadley Card?
A. "Our best-selling Hadley card.. Recently it has been the Arctic Tern Chick (so sweet), but the Birthday Jack Russell and Heart concertina cards are continuously popular too".

Q. Who is the Tinsmiths customer and when are you busiest?
A. "Regarding busiest days or season, we have a pretty steady flow of traffic through the year so that's hard to answer. Our customer base is broad geographically, so we have customers who visit from quite a distance (even from abroad). But yes, we do have a terrific band of local, loyal customers who come in, often on a weekly basis - and regularly to buy cards".

Q. How do you curate the collection?
A. "Tinsmith’s guiding principle is to offer products of lasting value, which work beautifully and bring joy to everyday living"
Hadley Collections are displayed throughout the shop, carefully curated alongside other makers, on shelves and table displays.
"For us, Hadley Paper Goods reflects our philosophy – cards and illustrations with such charm and thought that all who receive them will want to keep on display beyond a celebratory event. The ‘handcrafted’ quality of the artwork is beautiful and clearly appreciated by our customers".
