ABOUT BEAN & BEMBLE
At Bean and Bemble, we aim to inspire unique interiors, bringing joyful colour into homes with thoughtfully designed pieces. We take pride in ensuring all our products are either entirely handmade, or occasionally hand-finished in the UK, sourced from suppliers who share our commitment to meticulous craftsmanship, high-quality materials, and sustainable processes. Founded in 2020, and ran by brother, sister duo Michelle & Simon.
MICHELLE DODDS
As the proud owner of a first-class honours degree in Printed Textiles and Surface Pattern Design, Bean and Bemble brings together years of hard work and a strong desire to finally use her degree and years of design experience to create something truly fabulous.
Many of the products you seen online and in store here at Bean and Bemble, are hand-drawn by Michelle and made in the UK. Her vibrant homeware and gift collections are inspired by a love of colour, animals, nature and striking product design. Each piece blends intricate illustrations with clean, precise digital graphics to create bright, colourful and uplifting designs, applied to beautiful yet practical household products, colourful wall art and soft furnishings that bring joy and personality to any space.
SIMON KERSHAW
Simon joined Bean and Bemble in 2025 for the opening of our physical store, bringing with him a refined eye for craftsmanship and a passion for reimagining furniture with character. With a background as a bench joiner and experience in interior design, his work is rooted in an appreciation for natural materials, considered detail, and timeless form. He combines traditional joinery techniques with a contemporary aesthetic, creating pieces that feel both elevated and enduring. Through The Rework Studio (launching soon!), Simon thoughtfully restores and reinterprets vintage and second-hand furniture — breathing new life into each piece while honouring its original story. The result is a collection of one-of-a-kind designs, rich in character and made to be lived with for years to come.
OUR UNIQUE STORE IN WEST YORKSHIRE
Our colourful shop and studio is based in lovely Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, where you’ll find our range of art, home accessories, decor, gifts, and a selection of bespoke furniture. We also showcase a growing, handpicked collection of products from other beautiful British brands, artists and designers. Around 90% of Bean and Bemble’s core product range is either entirely made or carefully hand-finished in the UK. We’re passionate about supporting British manufacturing, using premium materials and ethical production wherever possible.
BRITISH MANUFACTURE
WE PROUDLY SUPPORT BRITISH MANUFACTURING
We’re proud to work with UK manufacturers for the majority of our products and are completely transparent about where everything is made. We wholeheartedly support British manufacturing and believe the finish and quality speak for themselves. Our tableware, art prints, home textiles, footstools and lampshades are ethically British made, using premium materials, always with a focus on minimising our impact on the environment. Any products that are sourced overseas are always printed or finished here in the UK to ensure we continue to support British craftsmanship and small businesses.
Our bespoke table tops are sustainably manufactured in Portugal, then hand-sprayed here in Yorkshire, while the legs are made in the UK too; the perfect combination of skilled craftsmanship and sustainable production.
