Liverpool One is building on its commitment to creating a difference for its shopping centre visitors via independent brands and innovative concepts.

So the successful central Liverpool mall has introduced a MerseyMade pop-up featuring local artisans’ and artists’ work “in a celebration of the community’s creativity”.

Located on Peters Lane, the 3,200 sq ft MerseyMade pop-up showcases handmade cushions and bags, baby accessories and bath products, and original artworks by textile specialist Alistair McCready, artist Jenny Dunlop, and graphic artist Sophie Green.

MerseyMade is on Peter’s Lane until the end of January before moving to a second pop-up on the centre’s Manesty’s Lane.

Chris Jukes, Liverpool One Director at Grosvenor, said: “Innovation and independents have always played a role in the success of Liverpool One, creating additional reasons to visit, building engagement with consumers, and supporting the local community.

“MerseyMade has proved incredibly popular, but is just the beginning for 2023. We will be introducing more pop-ups throughout the year.”

Jenny Dunlop, creative director of MerseyMade, added: “The ability of Liverpool One to amplify our business is significant, and has been a great boost to the region’s creative community.”
