About

Beautiful natural slate products from England's last working mine. Forces of nature formed this rugged corner of the lake district over 450 million years ago – its legacy today is honister green slate. With quality unique and bespoke gifts that last a lifetime, we have something for everyone, gifts that will be truly treasured, perfect for those people who are hard to buy for.

A superb selection of housewares, accessories and custom designed gifts, all made from this most beautiful of natural products.
