Exciting Times for Creatives in Lancaster

As an artist in this fab city, I’ve always felt that there’s something magical about collaboration, especially with like minded people. It's where ideas come to life, and I’m so chuffed to have teamed up with four other fabulous local creative businesses to create something very special - a collective gift shop on the high street! Selling locally made gifts, homewares, children's clothes, artisan soaps and fine art, we are Proper Lovely!!


Why a collective?

Working alongside other creatives not only brings a sense of community but also sparks inspiration. Each of us brings our unique flair and expertise to the table. From handmade gifts to stunning artwork, the variety we offer captures the true meaning of what it means to shop local and support indie businesses on the high street. We want to make a space where you can find something truly special, all while supporting local creatives and makers.


Our local collective gift shop showcases a curated selection of art and unique gifts that complimentst the independant shopping spirit of Lancaster. Vibrant paintings, designer jewellery, quirky home decor, and one of a kind pieces that tell a story. So if you’re shopping for a birthday gift, a little treat for yourself, or something special for the festive season, we’ve really got you covered!


Creative Community

The power of our community is amazing, so please feel free to give us a shout on social media or drop by to say hello when you're passing. Your support means the world to us!


Thank you for supporting local art and creative businesses. It's the creativity and support that makes Lancaster so unique!


Let’s make art happen in Lancaster, together we are proper lovely :-)
