Allotment

Allotment, owned and run by Kirsten Thompson, sells luxury knitwear, tops, footwear, jewellery, handbags, belts, gifts and accessories.

The shop is all about ‘less is more’ and cleverly accessorising a capsule wardrobe.  A lot of my customers live in their jeans but still want to look pulled-together and stylish, bearing in mind the Somerset weather and environment (not so many pavements and lots of mud!). I love advising customers on how to use accessories to update their existing wardrobe and favourite outfits.

I stock an eclectic range of brands from around the world, including Needle, Wyse, Cove and Rain clothing; Ash and Seven Boot Lane footwear; Owen Barry, Aurora London and Katie Loxton bags; POM scarves; Markberg belts and bags; Olia, Nordahl and Kirstin Ash jewellery; Nathalie Bond skincare products; and Parkminster candles. New designers are coming in all the time.

Allotment is based in a unique and idyllic rural location in a converted outbuilding on a working farm, with roaming chickens and an award-winning café. If you’re short on time, you can park next to the shop, dash in and out and leave the farm with your purchases and a take-away coffee in hand!

I offer a friendly, personal service, whether you’re looking for a total update on your seasonal accessories or want to buy a single piece of jewellery for someone special.
