Unleashing your inner domestic goddess is now only a click away at www.ulsterweavers.com. After trading for almost one hundred and fifteen years in textiles, homeware and gifts, County Down-based company Ulster Weavers has finally made the move to online consumer sales of its globally popular home and giftware. With huge successes in recent months such as the Terry Bradley bag (which sold out in a matter of hours when it was released in House of Fraser, Belfast) and a customer list which includes Rick Stein, the Royal Horticultural Society, the V&A Museum and the National Trust among others, the traditional company made the move after careful consideration of its own customer base. Managing Director, Kenneth Webb said “We hesitated selling our product direct to consumers in the past because we simply didn’t want to conflict with our retail and e-tail customers who were doing just that, however we receive thousands of requests from consumers each year and recently we decided that only a branded and controlled website with a world-class distribution system would allow the end consumer to fully enjoy the ethos of the Ulster Weavers product and service. This investment highlights the belief in our product and our team who continue to develop globally popular designs.” With an overwhelming trend to all things homely, the latest tea towels, aprons, shoppers, gardening accessories and tea cosies from Ulster Weavers are causing quite a stir with home makers and gift shopper alike. Chocolate polka dot piggies and honeycomb bumble bee tea cosies are proving popular beyond their key duty with their playful designs and aestethic qualities popular with both adults and kids. Chic ranges of cookware and gardening accessories complement the collection. With prices from just £4.99, they provide an excellent idea for alternaitve gifts, some colour in your kitchen or even just for fun. Log onto www.ulsterweavers.com for more details.
