Spotlight on the Seller - Bexicles Crafts and Accesories

Established in 2008, Bexicles supplies hand crafted crystal and silk/foam flower bouquets and corsages, tiaras and hair accessories, jewellery and unique cards for special occasions. They can also supply other crafts such as knitted and sewn scarves, hats and household goods such as quilted bed throws and blankets.

Most of Bexicles' stock is made to order particularly the crystal and silk/foam flower bouquets and corsages, tiaras and hair accessories.   They make for any special occasion in colour/design of choice.

Prices for the crystal and silk/foam flower bouquets and corsages start from £10, tiaras and hair accessories from £12, depending on the design and crystals used. All crystal and silk/foam flower bouquets and corsages contain Swarovski Crystals and colourfast flowers.

Bexicles was initially set up as a mother and daughter enterprise in Cleethorpes by Christine and Rebecca Fiddler following a road traffic accident that left Christine unable to return to her previous work . The name is taken from Rebecca - Bexicles.

On returning to West Yorkshire Christine was looking for a suitable outlet for the crafts and applied to join Fabrication in January 2013.  Fabrication and its artists have renewed Christine's love of craft making and she has recently started to knit and sew again. The shop and its sellers provide an enthusiastic and supportive base that enables ideas to flourish whilst importantly giving an outlet for the various artists that display and sell through the shop. The support received has been excellent from all the artists involved. Special mentions go to Dawn Wood, who runs Fabrication and Lisa Holkner from Our Little Craft Company. Dawn works tirelessly to ensure the shop and the enterprise keeps going. Lisa has provided Christine with some fantastic ideas, in particular branding, marketing and craft skills.

Bexicles will be providing workshops through Fabrication. These include making crystal hair clips and barrettes; tiara making; and how to make a crystal bouquet. Further details can be found on the Fabrication website at: www.fabric-ation.co.uk.

If you have a wedding, prom, or other special occasion coming up the pop into Fabrication in The Light, Leeds,  and have a look at the Bexicles range.

Still here!!

If you have been following us on Facebook or Twitter you might have been a bit confused about whether the shop was staying open or not. Don't worry, so were we!!
Fabrication is currently based in The Light in Leeds. This was for a six month contract. Negotiations to stay on took us right up to the wire, we were ready to pack up and hire a van. But don't worry, Fabrication is still in business in The Light.

The outpouring of support on Twitter when it looked like we might have to close was very heartening, it really showed that Leeds has an appetite for independent retail and doesn't want to be just another clone-town. To keep us going, keep shopping with us!

You can browse some of the loveliness on offer on our facebook photostream but we's love you to pop in and say Hi! Remember, everything on sale is hand made in the UK by independent craftspeople, no sweat shops involved!

While we are in The Light for the foreseeable future, it won't be our permanent home. The Light is mostly bars and eateries, so we are still on the lookout for a central, affordable retail space. If you know of anywhere then drop us a line. In the meantime, see you at The Light!
