“Know & Love” Pop-up at West Elm
The things creative Fabster couples get up to around their kitchen table. One evening, London-based designer and stylist Karen Sims and her partner Tim Leahy, MD of Brandpoint, an East End creative agency, were discussing the many artisans and makers that they “know and love”. A casual conversation turned into an idea about curating and showcasing the work of creatives, culminating in the 2016 launch of Know & Love — Karen’s online shop, which is filled with stylish and practical, hand-crafted homewares. Know and Love’s HQ, based in the testbed of creativity that is Karen’s North London location home and working studio, is a happy place indeed.
“Along the way I have forged links and made friends with many talented designers and makers. Know & Love is all about personal connection and community. For every product there is a heartfelt story of friendship, family, memory or local connection.”
