Scamp

Scamp is run by two sisters, Stacey and Jennifer, who design and make everything in the range. Focussing on products that are great for the family – think bright, unisex baby wear, cool kids sweatshirts featuring positive messages (and a similar range for women as well!), wooden laser cut homewares and festive decorations – often with a personalised option:

“We are really loving the feedback for our new Here Come the Kids range of children’s sweatshirts - all featuring bright, positive and empowering messages for our kids. We’ve now launched a few new products to add to the range including make up bags, necklaces and tote bags.”

Jennifer says “I find getting out of the house and wandering around central London really inspires me. A day in the east end, a night at the theatre, an exhibition at the Tate or just getting lost around Soho gives me lots of food for thought. Something that sitting on the computer sometimes struggles to do for me!”

In addition to being one half of Scamp, Jennifer is the key team member organising all our events –and she will be selling the beautiful Scamp wares at both Homeworks Christmas Bazaars on 3 & 10 December.

Meet the Maker - Scamp

As well as running Scamp with sister Stacey, Jennifer is a key member of the Homeworks team and organises our Christmas Bazaars. She recently gave us some time out of her (very busy) schedule to tell us a bit about her creative life:

Tell us about who you are:
It’s a family affair at Scamp with myself and my sister Stacey establishing and running the business. We’re both mums, both into design, and both creative souls, who design everything in our range.

When did you start your business?
We began in 2010 making personalised pictures for baby gifts. We’ve grown a lot since then to include printed babywear, nursery accessories and bespoke gifts for little ones (and some for big ones too!). The world of the laser cutter has meant we’ve been able to create a lovely range of wooden kids room accessories and decorations and most recently customised printing has expanded our baby wear range to include pyjamas and blankets as well, all printed in the UK:

What’s your inspiration?
Having our own children very much defines what we want our product ranges to be like - lots of vibrant, colourful and funky babywear, bold and simple graphics on bedroom accessories (we love Scandinavian styles) and personalised products created with stylish parents in mind:

We design all our products ourselves and spend a great deal of design time thinking about how our designs fit in with modern family life - both ours and yours!

Come and meet Jennifer & Stacey at Homeworks on 4 & 11 December:
