Cherrydidi

Cherrydidi We're also home to the much loved 'Zak the Collie Dog' ethical brand. We moved to Keswick in 2014 and opened a second shop in Ambleside in 2018.

After 11 successful years running gift shops on the Lake District high streets, you'll now find the very best ethical and sustainable gifts and art on the Cherrydidi Online Gift Shop. Cherrydidi is the brainchild of Jean and Ade Harmer, building on Jean's background in social enterprise: including running an eco-travel business in Nepal and supporting women to get a start in selling their own home

made products. Through delivering business start-up programmes in rural Cumbria, Ghana and India a project called 'Trade in Action' brought five Cumbrian and five Ghanaian small creative businesses together, from this Cherrydidi was born.

'Didi' is a term of respectfulness given to older women in Nepal. 'Cherry' was chosen after a gift of cherries from Ade to Jean. The first Cherrydidi shop opened in Priest's Mill, Caldbeck, in 2012, with a focus on helping artists and makers from across Cumbria and beyond, to start up their own businesses and grow sustainable careers, with their brilliant and individual talents at the centre. We remain proud to provide beautiful and ethically-minded products to customers old and new. We use local, British supply chains wherever possible, and we support our artists to do the same. We use recycled materials for our in-house products, and our packaging. We continue to champion start-up arts and crafts businesses, offering them not only a space to sell their work, but also commercial wisdom and support. We want our customers to see something completely different. We want to present new ways to be kind. If you like what you see, follow us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. Cherrydidi is also home to the one and only Zak the Collie Dog, plus Jesse Dog and Jack the Lad!

It’s been a while… join me on my new Mrs Didi page.

My ‘Isle of Arran’ stoneware collection made a debut appearance at the famous Glasgow Barras at the weekend and amazingly I only have a few pieces left.

I’m feeling very blessed to be on this wonderful journey - thank you Barras Market and to everyone who has supported me so far.

I’ve spent 18mths learning to throw pots on a kick wheel and this collection represents my love of wild swimming off the Arran coastline. 💙🌊🏊‍♀️🤿💙

I started this fundraiser, From Sea to Clay: Help Me Add a Kiln to my Studio on Arran, on GoFundMe and it would mean a lot to me if you’d be able to share or donate to it.
