ALL ORIGINAL - Independent Gift Shop in Ealing, London
All Original is a lovely independent gift shop located on Ealing Green, run by Jane and Steve, who champion designer makers from London along side carefully sourced original products from across the UK.
I met Jane at a Christmas market back in 2016 and we got chatting about design and the shop. Getting my products into a real shop had been one of my goals for along time but the fear of rejection kept me from pursuing it. It was complete serendipity meeting Jane that day, she helped me achieve my new year’s resolution for 2017 and offered me a space in her lovely shop!
All Original, 20 The Green, Ealing, London W5 5DA
The shop all COVID-19 ready.
Jane and Steve have created a wonderful shop and community. I love coming West to top up stock and have a wander around Ealing, I always treat myself to something from the Japanese patisserie, Wa Cafe, the curry buns are out of this world! It’s also nice to bump into the other designers and have a gossip with Jane (pre-pandemic obvs).
The COVID-19 pandemic has created many hurdles for small businesses and the high street, but All Original has dug deep, the shop has been slightly re-jigged to comply with social distancing guidelines and Jane and her team worked on a new website offering a click and collect service for the local area.
