We’re delighted to announce that SoLo Craft Fair will be opening a store in the iconic Brixton Village. The SoLo Craft Fair shop provides smaller entrepreneurs an opportunity to establish and grow their businesses. Our shop will play host to 50 of the best makers in London, selling everything from fashion to homeware to accessories and beyond.
The shop is open 6 days a week initially and is based in Brixton Village in the Granville Arcade, surrounded by bustling restaurants, cafes and other unique stores.
The clientele of the shop is affluent professionals or families with an expected age range of 25-50 years.
The cost of a regular space in the shop starts from £100 per month plus 15% commission on sales. We offer competitive discounts for traders who book for 3, 6 or 12 months at a time, with a larger discount for the longer you book. Spaces for traders selling cards only is considerably lower.

To have your products in store you will need Public Liability Insurance and any relevant certificates if you are selling cosmetics or packaged food. It is up to you to make sure your insurance will cover retail.
To give everyone maximum exposure in the shop we will rotate everyone’s products on a fortnightly basis to make sure everyone has a prime location in the store. When your products are in the shop you will receive a fortnightly sales report so you are able to bring in extra stock during your residency at the store.
Every trader has a limit on how many products they can keep in the shop, based on what they sell. Please take a look at this guide to help you figure out how many items you can stock at once. We’re unable to store extra stock for traders, so you’ll need to stick to the numbers in the guide.

FAQs
Can I bring my own display structures for my products?
We will be providing all displays so no need to bring your own. But if you really want to bring your own displays we can only accept small plywood structures to keep the appearance of the shop as uniform as possible. If you are unsure if your display item will be suitable, please email us with a photograph to check.
How do I code and label my products?
We will send out full details upon acceptance into the shop on how to do this. But we will ask for a spreadsheet with product code, product name, product price, quantity and description/photograph. The product code will be the initials of your name followed a number. Eg. Solo Craft Fair would become SCF001, SCF002 etc. You will need to label all your products clearly with price and this product code.
How will I know what has been sold?
We will send out a fortnightly sales report so you know what has sold and what to replenish. To replenish stock, just drop us an email to arrange a time to pop in to the shop. You can also send new stock via post if it’s easier for you.
How and when will I receive payment for my sold stock?
Within two weeks after the end of the month will we send out a full commission report, and we will transfer money for your sales via bank transfer.
What sells best in the shop?
We find products that are priced between £15 - £40 sell the best in the shop. Presentation is very important - we prefer stock not to be wrapped in plastic if this can be avoided and smart labelling with important information helps towards more sales (if your jewellery is gold plated - make sure this is advertised!).
