There’s three colourful designs in the mini-collection, involving donuts, ice lollies and watermelon, or as I like to call them, two things I feel guilty about eating and one that I don’t.
They’re all €29.95 and all in stock at the Ucon shop at the moment.

And with that, I was thoroughly smitten with the ladies behind You Can Make It Happen, a small Manchester-based company set up by Jo Finlay in 2003. There was a fantastic quirky-Britishness about them, their designs, and entire brand philosophy that was really endearing. The often doodle-like hand drawn illustration style is a staple of their (usually food-inspired) designs, something which goes hand-in-hand with the hand-printed, limited edition nature of all their pieces.

They had quite a few products at Margin that I can’t spot on their typically whimsical, hand drawn website, such as a new ‘eat your greens’ range, and a guilt-free eco-bag, a product that is really big in the UK at the moment, so it might be a case of it taking a while for them to get to the site, but it’s entirely possible that they’ll have the latest stuff at Manchester’s Fashion Market every Saturday 10am-5pm on Tib Street (near Debenhams, if you know Manc. you’ll probably know where that is).

Anyway, Beandip clothing make every sweater and tee to order. Their hoody range is pretty interesting (as are their hats) so check out what they have to offer. Personally, I just think there’s something kinda cool about wearing a shopping list…
