About us...

Damson & Slate, the newest venture of stylist Hilary Lowe, is on a mission to prove that Welsh crafts need not equate with fluffy red dragons.

Step through the doors of the cosy and welcoming store in the bustling market town of Narberth, Pembrokeshire and instead you will find a glorious celebration of all that is both chic and Welsh, from hand-spun mohair throws and rugs of organic fleece to vintage Welsh blankets and baskets woven from locally grown willow.

Over the last couple of years, Hilary has devoted her energy and stylist’s eye to tracking down the best and most covetable of Welsh goods, ones that will appeal to interior designers and fashion and craft enthusiasts worldwide. Here you will find cushions, blankets and throws of wool fabric woven on traditional looms; charming studio pottery and shawls, sweaters, socks and berets in earthy shades of hand-dyed wool.

The shop, opened in May 2009, is fitted out with old school cupboards and vintage maps against a palette of slate, sage, peat and heather. The good news is that for those with little opportunity of visiting the province, the Damson & Slate online shop brings you a breath of Welsh air wherever you live.
