Last week I told you that Baue will be arriving at Lume later this month. Since then I've found myself thinking about the neighbouring shops that make this corner of Ludlow one of my favourite parts of town. So this month's three good things are all within a moment’s' walk of one another on Ludlow’s Church St.
Three floors of beautifully curated homewares, men's and women's vintage, and pieces by local makers. Nina has a background in fashion history and it really shows. What I love most is the attention paid to details: unusual fastenings, beautiful fabrics and objects that feel as though they've been chosen because somebody genuinely fell in love with them.
Part deli, part café, and quite possibly the best people-watching spot in town.
On sunny days the tables spill out onto the square with views of Ludlow Castle beyond. Inside you'll find shelves packed with continental cheeses, charcuterie, olive oils and other treats that you might ‘need’.
Possibly the world's smallest and best cheese shop.
Step inside and you'll find yourself surrounded by cheeses from near and far, all cut to order. I certainly haven't tried them all yet (getting there), but their parmesan alone is reason enough to visit. They also offer a monthly cheese subscription, which strikes me as a very sensible arrangement indeed.
I send emails a bit like this each month. A trio of things worth seeing, reading, and thinking about and then a deeper dive into a fashion or design topic (expect some proper geekery).
Subscribers also get first looks at new designs, early access to shop them, and any other Baue news before anyone else.
