THE new Budeful shop premises on Lansdown Road had its official ‘grand opening’ on Saturday, May 5.

On hand to open the homeware and lifestyle shop was local Bude celebrity, Pete Vickery, who cut the ribbon.

The concept for the Budeful brand was inspired by walking on the beaches and grassy downs of Bude, with views of the infamous Pepper Pot overlooking Summerleaze beach.

The mission was simple — to create a ‘charming British designer lifestyle brand’.

Also high on the list of priorities for the two designers behind ‘Budeful’ was to keep plastic packaging to a minimum and source suppliers with the same ethos.

With its whimsical feel and echoes to Art Deco, the designers have a set of collections which will add instant style to any household, with more creative designs in development, including a set of six other collections to be rolled out over the next 12 months.
