A wallpapered bedroom in dusty pink and terracotta — the domestic register of The May Edit at Söstter, a curation of five independent founder-run brands.

The May Edit

Five Brands, Briefly.

Some months one has favourites, and some months one has favourites. May is firmly the second sort. Below: five small, founder-run brands currently doing the heavy lifting on the Söstter shelf — skincare from Sophie at Baie Botanique, hand-woven seagrass baskets from Helen at Bellybambino, hand-poured English candles from Bramble England, revived historical prints from sisters Alexia and Claudia at Print Sisters, and refillable amber glass from B Corp Kuishi.

Five small reasons to spend a slow afternoon at the shelf rather than the screen. We rather think you'll find something.

A few more places to wander.

Other corners worth a poke around.

Handcrafted sustainable candles by independent makers from the UK, Europe, and USA — women-led, men-led, and family-run brands available at Sostter.
