Local Scottish Makers

Local Scottish makers are integral to Lifestory's buying ethos. It is a delight to be able to stock and share so many wonderful local Scottish artists and small makers. There is an impressive amount of energy, skill, passion and thought poured into each makers' work, and you can really tell when you hold the pieces in your hand.

We stock everything from jewellery, such as Edinburgh's Behind Bracken and their recycled silver and fairmined gold jewellery, to ceramicists based in Scotland like Borja Moronta, Emporium Julium and Studio Brae, to delicious chocolate from Bare Bones of Glasgow.

Wonderful Independent. What can I say, just excellent. Shipped quickly, packaged well (utilising reused packaging) with a lovely handwritten thank you note. Fantastic products. Would highly recommend.

Fast delivery, well packaged and nice detail. I decided to treat myself to my first Studio Arhoj mug and ordered from Lifestory. There was a 10% off for new customers joining the newsletter. The mug arrived quickly and was very well wrapped. There was also a lovely handwritten note that was a nice touch. I would shop here again.

I visited Lifestory last week in Edinburgh. It’s a fabulously curated store and the staff are really lovely. I bought the Le Bon Shoppe socks and loved them so much I had to order more!

Great for furniture too. Love shopping in Lifestory - bought a fantastic sofa and footstool recently. We were kept fully informed of the dates of manufacture and delivery by the very friendly and efficient staff. Both items were completed on schedule and delivery arranged with a very efficient company on a date to suit us. The items are fabulous. Thank you Lifestory.
