The Real Deal
This Black Friday, while everyone else is chasing bargains, we’re celebrating something far more meaningful. At Folksy, you’re not shopping from warehouses or algorithms - you’re discovering the work of independent artists, makers and designers from across the UK. Every piece here has been imagined, crafted and carefully finished by real hands, real people and real small businesses.
The Real Deal is our way of shining a light on what handmade truly means: creativity, skill, time, care and stories worth sharing. No gimmicks, no flash sales - just beautiful, high quality things made with heart.
Come meet the makers and explore the work they’ve poured themselves into.
