Just outside Cirencester in the village of Stratton, you'll discover a gift shop created by interior designer Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen that really does stand apart.
Walking through the door immediately shows you his theatrical design philosophy in action. The shop is filled with homeware, decorative items, and gifts that all embrace his signature bold, colourful approach—pieces designed to make an impact rather than fade into a room.
If you enjoy hunting for home inspiration or searching out genuinely unusual gifts, there's plenty here that will catch your attention. The selection is wonderfully varied and eclectic, full of conversation-starting pieces that you simply won't find in more conventional shops. It's become a distinctive local addition, offering something quite different from the traditional retail you'd typically encounter in a Cotswolds village.
Since the shop sits right on Cirencester's edge, it makes sense to combine your visit with exploring the town itself, which has substantial Roman heritage, plenty of independent retailers, and solid restaurants worth your time. If you're heading further afield, Tetbury is only a short drive away and well worth visiting for its antiques shops and interesting past. So if you value bold design and individual character, this place definitely merits a detour while you're in the area.
