How much is that doggy in the window?

Benji’s new little brother

His name is Ollie. He’s an 8 week old Lhasa Apso and considered sacred to the holy men and nobles of Tibet. He is settling in really well and gets on great with Benji. As you can see Ollie is adorable. I’m sure we’ll have may more photos of him with Benji to show you very soon…

The Emperor's New Clothes

The latest adventures of Benji...

With the autumn weather creeping in poor little Benji is getting his fluffy white fur wet when he takes us out for a walk, I mean when we take him for a walk. Sharon in our sales department has come up with the perfect solution...

...His very own waterproof jacket. Surprisingly he loves it and showed it off in the office today before he took Sharon for a walk in the rain to try it out...

Goose Island Rolls Out The Red Carpet

 Cowbridge Fashion Week was another huge success. The theme for the evening was “The Vintage Years”.

 Special thanks to Christine Murphy for our wonderful models Christie, Nicola and new to our events, Joseph. Nicola and Christie's elegant look was all created from Goose Islands beautiful collection.

Autumn Winter Collection Arrives


This was the scene outside our Swansea warehouse this afternoon when our Autumn Winter 2010 collection arrived. As you can see it also brought the tropical sun with it.


It took a while to unload everything by hand but we all help out on days like this. Thanks to all the staff at the Goose Island Warehouse who worked none stop in this tropical heat.

Thanks also to Benji for barking whenever the phones rang so we didn’t miss a call during this busy day.


Now all we have to do is pick it, pack it and post it…

Goose Island Designs

Goose Island is a treasure trove of exotic hand crafted jewellery and accessories...

...All carefully selected under tropical skies in the lush beauty of far eastern islands and hot bazaars of India to enrich your wardrobe.


We make all this available to you through our stockists throughout the UK and Europe.


Shimmering textiles, in hot tropical colours...

The first time Karen Hutchings experienced the fashion potential of Balinese products on a visit over 15 years ago, she knew she had to share it with everyone at home in Britain... Goose Island was born.

Goose Island started off as a small business in 1993. Karen used her own creative talents to transform the rich traditional design heritage of the Far East into fashionable clothing, jewellery and accessories which were eagerly accepted by UK shoppers.

From modest beginnings selling through house parties and craft fairs, Goose Island has grown to a well established retail and wholesale company. Today Goose Island supplies garments and accessories from Bali, India and other points East to over 1000 fashion outlets throughout the UK, Ireland and western Europe.
