Welcome to Inspitalfields—the oldest independent gift shop in Spitalfields Market, East London. Founded in 1993 by Fiona, a passionate traveller and creative soul, our shop was born out of a love for global inspiration, quirky finds, and meaningful design. What started as a small collection of hand-crafted goods sourced from Thailand, India, and South America has grown into a vibrant, ever-evolving space filled with sustainable gifts, colour, and creativity.

We’re proud to call Old Spitalfields Market our home—East London’s most iconic shopping destination. Nestled among local makers, designers, and food traders, Inspitalfields has been part of the market’s transformation from a historic fruit and veg hub into a dynamic, design-led space for independent businesses. We’ve been here since the beginning, and we’re still going strong—making us the longest-standing independent store in Spitalfields Market.

In 2002, Fiona teamed up with Mehmood to expand the shop’s vision. Together, they travel to trade fairs and creative hubs around the world, curating an eclectic, joyful mix of products that reflect our love for quirky style, modern design, and sustainable living.

At Inspitalfields, we believe a gift should make you smile, spark conversation, and do a little good in the world. That’s why our range is filled with carefully chosen pieces that support ethical production, small makers, and eco-conscious materials.
