The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, looking so fine all the people did stare.

Add a healthy dose of luxury to Christmas this year with our stunning handmade velvet Christmas stockings. Hanging these stockings up on Christmas eve is going to be a real treat in itself.

Make no mistake, stockings are not just for children. Sure, the kids will love the soft velvety feel, and the pom pom trim (and the pressies inside) But grown ups can join in the fun too. Can you imagine the look on your partners face when the wake to this filled with the finest of treats, perhaps luxury chocolates, a small piece of jewellery and some delicate underwear.

These stockings are all made by our own fair hands in our North Pennine Studio. We have used high quality velvet for the stockings, lined them with white cotton, and added a natural linen cuff to the top. These stockings are edged with a slightly off white pompom trim, and to complete the sumptuous look, are finished with a dusky pink silk tassel. You can hang the stockings with the tassel, or simply place next to a larger bundle of goodies in front of the fireplace.

These can be used year after year, even passed down for a new generation to use, so pop away carefully once Christmas is over, and discover the joy again the following year.

For added luxury why not opt to have the stocking personalised with a name. This will be delicately added to the cuff of the stocking and will have a velvety feel.

Available in a choice of five colours - shell pink with gold tassel, antique gold with pink tassel, teal with gold tassel, Olive Green with gold tassel and Santa's Pantaloon Red with pink tassel.
