The Natural Collective, a collaboration of two businesses, is to return once more with a special pop up shop.
Coming to The Lanes shopping centre in Carlisle on December 14, they will be showcasing their wares, following on from their last pop shop, which was welcomed with a queue upon opening, with lots of products selling out.
The Natural Collective is a collaborative group currently consisting of Luna Amatores and Ethereal Scents.
Luna Amatores sells the biggest range of ethically sourced crystals in Carlisle, along with hand-crafted jewellery and homeware.
Ethereal Scents sells a range of handmade, soy wax candles and melts, aromatherapy products, skincare and homeware.
They will be revealing this time some of their homeware which they have both expanded.
Speaking of the background to her business and the idea of the Natural Collective, Korin Thomson, owner of Luna Amatores, said: “Natalie Faunch, who owns Ethereal Scents, uses all-natural ingredients in her products, and for me with the crystals, which are natural as well as the jewellery I make, it made a good fit."
Their last pop up shop was in August, and at the time, Korin was working as a delivery driver, and working on Luna Amatores part time.
Now she has stopped working as a delivery driver and started to put all of her time into her business, she said it has paid off well.
Most recently, Korin has been a part of the Makers March, a huge market which was put on in The Fratry in Carlisle Cathedral.
Korin said of this: "The footfall was absolutely incredible; it was busier than it was expected."
On how far the Natural Collective has developed so far, she added: "We have both developed our customer base a lot, and as a result we are definitely getting quite well known, and recently we've had a visitor who came all the way from Bristol just to see us."
The Natural Collective's pop up shop will be running from December 14, all the way through to December 31.
