Shopper’s Diary: Sparrow & Co. in Glasgow

March 24, 2011

Samuel Sparrow studied at the Glasgow School of Art and worked for Ikea and Habitat; he recently struck out on his own with Sparrow & Co., a collection of handmade products from around the globe—Morocco, Uzbekistan, Asia, Central America, Wales, England, and, of course, Scotland. He'll be offering his wares online in the next month or so; until then, a small selection of his products are available on Etsy.
