Our retailers are such an important part of the Wonderful World of Victoria Eggs. In celebration of all of the amazing people and stores that we work with, we began a series called Retailer Of The Month in September last year.
In season one of the series, we spoke with some amazing retailers from around the world to get to know their favourite things about their stores, their customers, and of course, Victoria Eggs.
To celebrate the end of season one of Retailer Of The Month, we’ve put together some of our favourite answers from throughout the series below.
The Bees Knees British Imports, our September Retailer of the Month
First on our list of favourite answers comes from our first ever retailer of the month! Lucinda, the store owner, told us about her favourite part of her job - the customers. As a team of Brits, we always love to hear about how much people love visiting the UK and British culture!
“What's important to you as a shop owner?
The best part about being a shop owner is interacting with the customers, whether it is on the telephone or in the shop. People come in to share stories of growing up in England, trips to England, college time in England, about their ancestors who came from England. There is always a story to hear. It is also great finding fabulous new products and brands for us to stock.”
Tower Bridge Gift Shop, our October Retailer of the Month
Being stocked in iconic London landmarks like the gift shop at Tower Bridge will never not be exciting for us, and especially when they have so many lovely things to say about Victoria Eggs!
“Why do you choose to stock Victoria Eggs?
Victoria Eggs has a special place within our shop. We (and our customers!) love Victoria’s London-themed designs, including our bespoke Tower Bridge range which is across all her merchandise. Eggs’s products are high quality and UK designed and made which really makes a big difference to our customers, especially those who are looking for that extra-special gift. We are always looking out for talented UK based designers to promote in our shop and Victoria Eggs is one of the best we have found! The other reason we love selling her ranges is that our customers love them too! She is our biggest independent designer that we order from and our customers can’t get enough of her different ranges.”
Daniel of Windsor, Our December Retailer Of The Month
It’s so important to us to work with retailers that feel the same way that we do about the quality of British made products. We love to hear from owners, managers, or buyers of stores that are dedicated to keeping British craftsmanship alive!
“Why do you choose to stock Victoria Eggs?
We choose to stock Victoria Eggs because of the brand's commitment to quality, individuality and the beautifully unique design of the products. Victoria Eggs' products align with our store's ethos of offering distinctive and high-quality items to our customers – Victoria Eggs is a particularly popular range that inspires and delights!”
Goodwoods British Market, Our May Retailer Of The Month
We just had to include this answer, which already has us feeling Christmassy in September! We especially like the idea of Americans seeking out special ingredients to make a traditional English roast for their Christmas dinner.
“What’s your favourite season in the shop?
Christmas, hands down!
Christmas at Goodwoods British Market is my favourite time of year. There's a magic about Christmas time that you can feel in the air. Twinkling lights, festive decorations, and the bustle of people make it such a fun time of year. In our Old Town Spring location, the town has horse-drawn carriages, Santa meet-and-greets, and a town-wide tree lighting ceremony. Every shop joins the festive spirit, creating a visually stunning backdrop for holiday shopping. I love helping customers find the perfect gift (Victoria Eggs is great for this!) and items to create their traditional British dinners. The excitement, magic, and bustle of people make Christmas a truly special season at the store.”
The Southbank Centre Gift Shop, Our June Retailer Of The Month
As lovers of the arts, it’s so exciting for the Victoria Eggs HQ to find our products in a venue as renowned as the Southbank Centre.
“What’s important to you as a shop manager?
As the shop manager at Southbank Centre, my goal is to foster a warm atmosphere for our diverse range of visitors, from culture enthusiasts to tourists discovering the area. We welcome avid readers, music aficionados, art lovers, and design enthusiasts, along with those simply seeking inspiration. It's my priority to present a curated selection of products that caters to various interests, igniting curiosity and creating memorable experiences for everyone who walks through our doors.”
