Christmas shopping in Cornwall

When we do our Christmas shopping in Cornwall, our aim is to shop local. Porthleven’s local shops have so much to offer. There is nothing better than a handmade Christmas gift and supporting a local artisan at the same time. Next time you visit Cornwall take a look at our little high street and find your favourite.

Essa Collection

If you are after luxury and exclusivity in what you wear then this is the shop for you. Vanessa Ricketts has sourced the finest with most of the collection being one-off pieces. Some of her pieces are made in Helston and Falmouth. You don’t get more local than that!
