We asked the Harborne community for their favourite independents and received an overwhelming response. For Independent Retail Month, we want to highlight these businesses, the real people that run them and the wonderful contribution they make to the High Street!
Today we’re spotlighting Silver and Love, selected by of the community as a favourite on Facebook and Instagram!
We asked the owner Richard about how Silver and Love began and being an independent in Harborne. Read the Q+A below!
An independent business to me means one that should reflect the community. Silver and Love is singular in reflecting the customers in the community and, in this area, that means it is invariably going to be more interesting in what it can offer. For example, we decided not to offer any big brands. We offer items from around the world and very locally. We are able to work with small makers, designers and artists and we work with small importers who bring wonderful things from around the world.
I hope it shows, but we do love this community. All of you!
Last year we started a Professional Piercing studio at the shop called Aura Piercing. Charlie the piercer is taking appointments for piercings now. Its a great time of year for a first piercing as the Summer is a great opportunity for the piercing to heal. All other piercings also available.
You can find Silver and Love on Facebook and Instagram. And find Aura Piercings on Instagram and Tiktok.
