The Emporium

Hello and welcome to our website!  

The Emporium at Slaithwaite is a creative collective made up of artists, designers, makers and sellers of vintage, antique and quirky items. All of whom live and work in the Colne Valley area, West Yorkshire. 


Originally a part of 'The Vintage and Craft Emporium' in Out Down Mills (next to the Canal) 4 of us decided to expand and evolve this fantastic idea for a business into a thriving Community Interest Company (CIC) to add to our already thriving Yorkshire village!

Now a fantastically unique shop and gallery filled with wonderful and original items to buy, we are situated in an old mill unit on Britannia road that used to be used as a corn mill! It is right smack bang in the centre of Slaithwaite village, with a lovely frontage that comes to life in the warmer months!



When we first saw our fantastic space we fell in love and although it needed ALOT of working doing to it, we saw only the potential from the beginning!
It took us almost 3 months of scrubbing, cleaning, sanding and painting to turn it into a gorgeous and original shop space for local arts, crafts and genuine vintage and antique items.

And now with all the lovely support we have received from our local community we have a beautiful Aladdin's cave filled with handmade goodies and keepsake treasures!

The space before:                                      The Space after:


The Emporium is now a brilliant space to congregate with fellow creatives and inspire one another as well as a space for small businesses to sell their goods without the worry of large overheads, We also want to hold regular workshops, fairs and creative/ vintage events for people to enjoy so that more and more crafty folk are brought to our town for fabulous fun filled days out!

Enjoy handmade arts, crafts, gifts and vintage clothes and memorabilia by our passionate and local professionals who can offer advice and inspiration for any crafty folk out there!

Or perhaps just sit and have a delicious cup of Yorkshire tea whilst browsing our talented designer's works and keepsake treasures!

We love to create and this will be our biggest creation by far! But with our joint expertise and creativity we hope to make this one of West Yorkshire's best assets! 

Thanks so much for reading and we are so grateful for all your support!

Lots of love from Steph, Amy, Di and Pat x
