We’ve decided to bring some of our Classic decorations back, listing them in our online shop. All of these decorations were designed and created between 2010 and 2015 and there are so many lovely designs in the collection. These decorations will all be made to order, as we do not have a stock supply of them ready to go (as we do with the rest of our decorations).
Therefore, due to the fact that these decorations will be made from scratch and have more time-consuming designs, they will be priced at £21.00 each.
We’ve been busy creating two bespoke decorations for Oxford University’s Museum of Natural History.
