Stories & Press
A huge thank you to The Times, The World of Interiors, Homes & Gardens, Country Living and Inigo for the recent stories about our collections, our community and our shops.
Merchant & Mills was named one of The Times "50 of the UK's most stylish independent shops" along with a couple of our incredible neighbours and friends Soap & Salvation & Puckhaber (if you're planning a trip to Rye, we've made a blog of all the other amazing things to do and see as well as where to stay, eat and drink. Read it here.)
HOUSE has been featured in Homes & Gardens, Country Living and The World of Interiors since we opened in November last year.
If this wasn't enough, both Country Living and Inigo have spent the day with us recently documenting the journey from Merchant & Mills to renovating The Grove to HOUSE in film. You can find links to the digital press and images of the printed press below. Below is a screenshot from our video feature with Country Living. The images underneath this were taken by the wonderful Ellen Christina Hancock for Inigo.
