What some of our wonderful collaborators, exhibitors and customers have to say
Shalini Bharadwaj (Collaborating Partner) - HUTKE Jewellery & Art | www.hutke.co.uk
"Being a creative small business owner, I have faced the challenges of the current market and know how difficult it is to find the right opportunity to showcase your products or creative talent and have a rewarding experience in the process.
Through Bydesign Collective, working in collaboration with other dynamic small businesses and artists has been a very fulfilling experience. Working as a collective we have been able to create opportunities in sort after locations which would be hard to achieve individually. We hope to continue curating interesting events and supporting small businesses and independent artists through collaboration and collective action."
Riecha Kapoor (Collaborating Partner) - Riecha Kapoor Ceramics | @riechakapoor.ceramics
"Working closely with other dynamic business owners and creatives has been an amazing learning experience. The South Molton Street 2022 Christmas pop-up had a cohesive and modern aesthetic that made it feel more like a boutique store than a temporary retail space. Each retailer had their own distinct section, but the overall layout was intuitive and easy to navigate.
The event also featured a diverse range of artwork from both emerging and established artists. There were paintings, sculptures, installations, and even interactive pieces that allowed visitors to engage with the art in unique ways. What really struck me about the event was the high level of creativity and skill on display. The artists had clearly put a lot of thought and effort into their work, and it was amazing to see such a range of styles and techniques all in one place. The enthusiasm of the vendors, artists and customers together added cheer to this successful Christmas event.
Kashish Golani (Exhibitor) - Ovviovita Botanical Beauty | www.ovviovita.com
"I had the opportunity to exhibit my beauty brand Ovviovita at one of the shopping events organized by Bydesign Collective. The team did such a good job at organising the venue, creating the marketing collateral and all the artwork associated with promoting the event.
The vendors that participated were very passionate and knowledgeable about their products, and I felt like I was part of a community of artisans and creators. Overall, I had an amazing time exhibiting my products at the shopping event and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a unique shopping experience filled with quality products, great entertainment, and a fun atmosphere."
Sejal Assi (Exhibitor) - Amaura London | www.amauralonodn.com
"We loved working with Bydesign Collective for their first pop up in South Molton Street. It was really easy and fun. There was a-lot of effort put in to creating graphics and organising the day to make it a high end event. Drinks for shoppers and organising a giveaway all helped to raise awareness of the event.
I really felt included and part of the team. I can’t wait to work with them again, and I would thoroughly recommend working with them if you were thinking of a pop up in London."
Ashima Kumar (Exhibitor) - Dream.Doodle.Design | Artist www.ashimaart.com
“The Christmas 2022 pop-up event was impeccably organized with a great deal of attention to detail. The promotional materials were crafted professionally, contributing to the overall appeal of the event. The curation of the event was of high quality, ensuring that all participants had an enjoyable and memorable experience. The venue was expertly selected, adding to the ambiance of the event.”

"This was my first exhibition with Bydesign Collective and it was a lovely experience. Everyone came together as a team. It was very well organised and advertised. A lot of thought was put into planning, and I was very pleased with the turnout and visitor-ship. The organising team made sure that the visitors who came to the event were directed and introduced to all the participants. Looking forward to the next one. "

"I recently visited an exhibition organised by - BYDESIGN COLLECTIVE in South Molton Street W1. It was a delight to see such a display of high quality art from a variety of skilled artists in elegant Mayfair, selling at affordable prices.
The glass of wine, the warm friendly welcome by the artists was most appreciated on a cold winter’s day."
