You will also be able to shop her collection of dopamine designs and homeware at the market too.
MW Makes live leather personalisation: MW Makes is a leather goods brand set up by London architect Michelle Wong. Developed through a passion for design and a desire to make with her own hands, Michelle creates handcrafted leather goods, from her home studio in London. Influenced by her background in architecture, each item is carefully designed with an emphasis on simple geometries, clean lines and functionality.
Handbags & Accessories
Scrunch by Staise: It wouldn’t be a good market day without the cutest most colourful frilly and chubby scrunchies for you to treat yourself to! So we’re absolutely chuffed and buzzing to welcome Scrunch By Stais back to Salad Days. Entirely handmade by maker Anastasia and her small team, these gorgeous hair accessories are available in a wide selection of colours, trims and patterns, you’ll be sure to find one or two that are perfect for you. Available in 3 sizes from £15-£30.
Nori Mori: In a charming twist of fate, London-based maker and model Crystal followed her name into the wonderful world of sparkling crystal-beaded accessories. Working for hours at a time on each beautiful item, she transforms the humble bead into show-stopping bags, purses, hair bows and accessories. Crystal is bringing so many beautiful things to our next pop-up and is busy working on lots of brand new innovation to dazzle and wow you with, like bag charms! Her gorgeous multicoloured phone charms are always bestsellers (I have two and get so many compliments) so arrive early to shop those if they’re the reason for your visit. Welcome back Crystal!
Ariadne: Using exclusively recycled yarn, designer Rosie handmakes these gorgeous handbags in her little home studio. Due to the finite nature of each yarn, every bag is completely one off, so everyone who shops has an original piece that’s as completely unique as they are. You can’t help but have a spring in your step and feel a little bit more special knowing that, every time you wear it! Rosie thinks of her designs as wearable pieces of art, inspired by the world around her and everything that makes her heart sing.
Jewellery
Ray Makes Things: Your favourite pearl girl Ray handmakes all her stunning jewellery pieces in London and usually has a crowd at her table, so arrive early if she’s the reason for your visit! This pearly queen is bringing a whole host of delightful styles for us to browse and shop at our market inside Battersea including favourite bestsellers and an gorgeous brand new collection of treasures you’ll never have seen before. So classic, so beautiful, always delightful.
Musée Roo: You can easily loose a couple of hours at the market browsing Roo’s sumptuous market stall because it’s packed to the rafters with her handmade historically inspired jewellery alongside a plethora of vintage chains, carefully curated trinkets and charms. There is no quick look when it comes to shopping with Roo! Everything about Roo’s world feels so personal and full of character, you’ll want to touch, pick up and try on every delicious piece.
Kalei: The most important thing to tell you about all of the gorgy earrings from Kalei is that they’re incredibly lightweight and won’t hurt your ears. You don’t want to sass up your outfit with a colourful accessory, only to have to take them off half an hour later (when you’ll pop them in your bag and inevitably lose one, it can’t only be me?!) Choose from hundreds of different shapes, patterns, colours and styles all handmade by lovely Sara, and custom designs are available. We're obsessed with the recent rebrand that looks even chicer than ever.
Ruddock: When something has been featured by Vogue, Sunday Times Style, Sheer Luxe and Harvey Nichols it’s probably worth a look! And London jewellery brand Ruddock doesn’t disappoint. With statement pieces that are chunky, statement and oh so sleek, designer Sarah has an affinity for modernist and sculptural forms. Each one is handcrafted using the technique of lost wax carving in London, from recycled metals in small batches. I absolutely adore the initial pendants for a special and personal gift.
Alba Jewellery: It was the incredibly special Fish Pendant that first made me fall in love with Alba Jewellery and every wonderful piece jeweller Jacqueline Dawson makes by hand in her garden workshop. Often inspired by nature, the artist works exclusively with recycled metals, and her collections feature lots of striking texture and chunky organic looking pieces. Special, but always wearable.

Ruffles & Riot: I literally DIE over how cute every single piece from Ruffles and Riot is. The sardine tins! The candle snuffers shaped like fruits! The cheese and olive platter!

CR1B: At our next market, Cr1b home fragrances will be bringing a new and limited edition festive collection perfect for this specal season, alongside all the bestselling scents you know and love. Not only do these candles and diffusers smell divine, but I love the thoughtful detail about the name CR1B. The R in the logo reflects a keyhole which represents how Larelle believes we each hold the key to access the best for ourselves. And the number 1 reflects individuality and how we’re each unique in our own special ways. It’s thoughtful little details like this which I always think makes shopping small the best.
Kids

Deli Items
Nutty Belly Gal: Small batch, craft peanut butter in fun flavours made using all natural ingredients and only Hi-oleic peanuts. What are those you might ask? Hi-Oleic peanuts are a special variety only grown in a few places around the world. They're naturally sweeter and have 30% more monounsaturated fats than regular peanuts, putting them up there with other heart-healthy foods like avocados and olive oil! Finish toast, porridge, smoothies or stir frys perfectly, there's options with medjool dates, organic cacao, matcha or sichuan chilli oil for the more spicy amongst us.

Toskas Cakes: Occasion cakes have never looked so good!

Her portion sizes are generous to say the least, and every single thing I've tried (and I've tried a lot) has been absolutely delectable. Available till sell out.
