About Oswell'S
Beautiful and interesting products in a bricks and mortar shop in Barnard Castle
Oswell'S Description
Welcome to Oswell’s. . .
We are Lisa and Julie, two sisters on a mission to bring the feel good factor and top-notch customer service experienced in a lovely, independent high street shop to the internet.
With 25 years of retail and marketing experience between us, we have a passion for scouring the globe to seek out that something extra-special; always well made and useful, sometimes curious or quirky, generally beautiful, and often all of the above. Whether you're looking for something a bit different for the home, a gift for a loved one, or just feel like treating yourself, we believe you will find what you are looking for in our eclectic range of products.
Nature is very much at the heart of our buying inspiration. Whether it be in terms of design, such as leaf-shaped tableware and porcelain bowls with elephant trunks for feet, or materials, such as pure linen, horn, alpaca wool and vegetable wax candles, there is a definite natural theme running throughout our collection. Plastics are avoided where possible, as are chemicals and synthetic fibres. Lots of our suppliers use recycled packaging and print with soy ink, and wherever possible we try to ensure that our natural materials come from renewable resourses.
Although we're justly proud of our gorgeous website, we're not just an internet presence. First and foremost we're shop-keepers, and so we also have a lovely little shop located in a lovely 18th century listed former antique shop in historic Barnard Castle in the heart of beautiful Teesdale. With stunning views across the Tees Valley, it's the ideal place to peruse our range of curious and beautifully designed products. It is also the only place to see our gorgeous selection of hand-made LLoyd Loom furniture, along with weave and colour samples to make ordering easy.
In-store, all purchases over £50 will procure one of our famous Oswell's bags!
We look forward to seeing you at Oswell's very soon!

Get down to Barnard Castle this morning to support the fab Sarah Gent, who is writing in chalk why creativity matters on the whole length of the street! This is to fund raise for our local Arts Centre, The Witham. She will also need your words. Why does creativity matter to you? Without creativity we may as well not exist. The world could be inhabited by robots. Go Sarah!!!
Solid oak poster hangers now in stock. All sizes available.
We are open today 11-4pm. And it’s going to be a lovely day 😊
Moth@Oswell’s looking fab!
A sunny new window...
So chuffed with this selection of handmade desk accessories. I love the colours and patterns together. If you have special documents or keepsakes, these are blooming perfect 😊
Lots of new stock arriving ready for the busy summer 🌞
Looking forward to this!
He bloomin' loves the sun!
Our neighbours. Amazing shop full of unique and interesting goodies...
A Matt Sewell bird on a chunky piece of wood. What’s not to love?
New bone china mugs inspired by Ordnance Survey Maps. Made in England by a real person 😊
Summer stock is starting to trickle in...
I thought about it in my head and I felt it in my heart but I made it with my hands. Rob Ryan’s new book has just arrived. It comes complete with a pull out papercut ready to frame...
We’ll be doing a shop revamp in a couple of weeks so I need to sell this lovingly hand painted and waxed old dresser. Send me a message if you’re interested.
Don’t forget it’s Father’s Day on Sunday! Lots of ideas in the shop...
We will be open on BH Monday 11-4pm. Closed on Sunday 😊
Oswell's is a font of artful treats! Each item seems to have been carefully selected with a good eye for design and a quirky imagination. The Grosvenor School and Eric Ravilious being favourites of the owner will tell you more of the shop's character, too. Worth the trip to Barnard Castle all on its own!
My new favourite independent shop in the North East . Beautifully curated books, wrapping paper, ceramics and more. Well worth a visit.
