About Bless

BLESS began life in November 2019 as a pop up shop in North London's favourite village Stoke Newington. Cherished from the outset, Bless has blossomed into a soulful destination store that is here to stay. The unique and ever changing edit is a potent blend inspired by six principles that are fundamental to founder Ashlyn Gibson's daily life: Daily rituals to nourish body and soul. Self knowledge to bring you into your own power. Conscious spending that supports social enterprises, amplifies the voices of marginalised people and provides them with opportunities to thrive. Slow fashion that has been created for long lasting beauty with respect for the artisans and makers. Eco design that utilises sustainable materials in a bid to protect our planet against climate change.
 Breathing new and invigorated life into vintage collectables that evoke tales of travels whilst being the purest form of sustainable consumption. We aim to bring you an edit that will evolve with our project but if you visit our shop you willl make even more discoveries.

Bless Sanctuary

BLESS is the idea of Ashlyn Gibson, an interiors stylist and writer and founder of the award-winning children’s store, Olive Loves Alfie. Ashlyn opened BLESS in November 2019 with an edit to conscious shopping during the Christmas present buying season. It quickly grew to encapsulate her belief that when we make considered choices in the way we shop, we can make a world of difference to the environment, communities, and the battle to keep local high streets alive!
