Lucky Bird: bespoke printing

Sorry for the lack of activity over the last week - we've been away!

We're back now however, and hit Broadway Market in Hackney this morning to see what's happening around there.

We immediately spotted Lucky Bird, a little stall covered in beautiful hand printed greetings cards (£3), leather key rings, wooden 'sticks' (50p) which make excellent bookmarks and very cool (and very now) recycled shopping bags (£15) made from old market sacks.

Lucky Bird has been on Broadway Market for four years. Everything is hand printed using inks and hot foils on recycled materials.

"It's a great way to test the market and I love meeting the other traders. Although not when it's too cold!"
