Pictured here is the cup and saucer, from the charming Busy Bumble Bees Fine Bone China Range:
Sourced and made in the Potteries, Stoke-on-Trent.
Priced at £16.
Sophie designs and illustrates the ranges, whilst other family members help with the selling, distributing and stock control; in fact even people in the village help out.
The company is very much founded on family values and as Sophie says “We’ve always been a very close family so working with them seemed very natural. Family trust and understanding takes a lot of stress out of doing business! We spent a lot of quality time around the kitchen table growing up, now it’s so exciting having our business meetings, organising orders, e mails, etc round the same table.â€
Sophie Allport has proven a remarkable success and though the brand continues to grow with new fabric designs and an ever-expanding selection of products, the ranges have lost none of their unique
Britishness, quaint fun and witty sense of style.
