The shop houses a huge selection of cards, housewares, candles, silver and stunning jewellery, ranging from handmade local products to hard-to-find international brands, this cosy independent is filled to the brim with eye-catching pieces. With a huge passion for design and unique products, Ged and Karen Mace, the creative force behind the red door are constantly looking for something a bit different for every kind of customer. Behind The Red Door will have something for you!
Invest FeaturesHere at Creative Quarter we have picked out a few products we feel are extra special, highlighting Behind The Red Door’s diverse selection of goods, here are our ‘CQ picks’ :
‘Konplott Jewellery’
As explained by Karen, this amazing range of costume jewellery, is exclusive to Behind The Red Door outside of London, with them stocking a range of the more affordable pieces from Greek Designer Miranda Konstantinidou’s collections. Made from semi precious stones and jewels, each piece is made in small quantities, making them incredibly exclusive and hard to find. Worn by the likes of Lady Gaga and Sienna Miller, this brand is a real shining star in amongst all the other products at Behind The Red Door.
‘By Heather May’
Our second CQ pick is Derby based deluxe candle company, ‘By Heather May’. Starting out in her kitchen, Heather May’s candles are beautifully hand-crafted and have a real presence within the shop, adding to the homely feel when shopping at Behind The Red Door. The candles are hand poured using 100% soy wax, making them not only better for the environment but also benefiting the user, with a cleaner burn lasting up to 3 times longer than paraffin based candles. To top it all off, the candles are placed in beautiful vintage glassware which can be re-used, further highlighting the eco-friendly ethos of the company.
