Introducing ... Fairbourn Children's Furniture




Fairbourn Children’s Furniture… a supplier profile

We are all about sourcing good, honest, British products here at the Little Present Company. Sarah Watkins, founder and designer of Fairbourn Children’s Furniture is right up our ethical street.

It was after her son was born that Sarah tried, unsuccessfully to find furniture and attractive accessories for her home. Using her background in design, she set about creating her unique range of wooden items which are based on the Shaker principles on honesty to the materials: “whatever is fashioned, let it be plain and simple and for the good”.

Sarah’s creative flair is evident in her range of quirky objects. The carved and painted words Love, Dream and Angel are brilliantly adaptable. Made from solid wood from renewable sources, they are painted and distressed by hand in her workshop. They can be wall-mounted or table top displayed and are available in a range of soft pastel colours.

The adorable little hand made pastel-coloured mice is a present which will outlast any piece of newborn clothing. Sarah makes each of the small accessories held by the Little Present Company by her own hand. The soft palette range and integrity to the wood give each one a lovely vintage feel.
Sarah gleans ‘real pleasure’ from creating beautiful pieces. Designed, produced and sold from North Yorkshire, these Fairbourn wooden accessories have ‘local’ metaphorically stamped all over them.

We are one of a number of British retailers who sell Sarah’s accessories, and we are proud to do so. We look forward to a long and mutually successful collaboration.
