Bloom & Ivy's roots started in 2019 with the creation of an Instagram account @Artofphoebe.
Over the years I grew it to a point of having 5k followers and made regular sales on Etsy.
Etsy however like to take ALL the profits so I started a Shopify. It went well, initially however, final year of university meant I no longer had time. So I closed it down.
2 years later I visited The Redbrick market in Sheffield and found a new burst of inspiration! That's where Bloom & Ivy became a real thing.
I re-discovered my love of K-Pop, art and building community. Then KStars announced it was closing and it really solidified my passion and want to pursue this. That's when I became We. My close friend and housemate Amy joined and has helped me build something beautiful!
We hope to open a physical shop in Affleck's, Manchester or a Redbrick Market in 2027. For now we are building our online presence and expanding the product lines. Second hand (and eventually new) K-Pop albums are coming soon in the next few months, mystery packs, more pins, stickers - the whole shebang. And of course, more art prints.
I cannot thank you all enough for supporting us through this journey!
Amy & Phoebe
