Modo Creative

Meet Sonia! You will find her mainly in the shop on Haworth Main street, she always has a big smile on her face and tons of knowledge about Modo products.  We know you lot love a bit of the behind the scenes and getting to know more about the business and who your money is supporting, so take it away Sonia!   What is your favourite Modo product and why do you like it?  I love lot's of MODO products!  At the moment my favourite is the mountains are calling wall hanging, I like it because I love how It...

A moment if we may.  It’s been brought to our attention that we don't talk enough about some of the good things our business does.  We are not big fans of doing good and then shouting about it, we don’t do it for that reason.  However recently you lot (our customers) have started to show more interest in the behind the scenes and a few of you have encouraged us to discuss it more. So here it is.... Firstly we try and make products that make folk feel good.  Either good about a choice in gift or good about the...

There's been so much in the press recently about equal (#not so equal) pay across all walks of life, the me too movement and the centenary of the first women in this country having the right to vote. And rightly so!  We're still too slowly making our way down the road to equality, but the raising of one group shouldn't mean the denigration of another.  And we're a broad church here at Modo, so it's men that are on our minds this week. And it is Father's Day on Sunday so, you know, it might be nice to pause a while to think of...

The weather is warming up (when it wants to!) and so naturally our thoughts are turning to the summer weddings racing up to greet us on our calendars. Perhaps you've got one or two, or seven coming up this year and are wondering what to buy the happy couple. You may know one or both of them and their tastes very well or you may not quite know what their thing is and so need that all-round, crowd-pleaser of a gift. It may even be your own special day fast approaching and you're looking for some last-minute inspiration. Ahem, not...

Sorry for the radio silence on here! We've moved.  Again. We still have the bricks and mortar shop on Haworth Main street but we also have a more suitable (1 level) studio for all our designing and making.  We work hard but we also like a good natter when we're making stuff so being all together in one open plan space is very exciting!  The shop is bigger and now occupies the whole of the ground floor at 11 Main Street, Haworth.  We are really looking forward to adding lots more products to the shop and are looking forward to...

50 years ago, if someone had been asked to describe a stereotypical dad, it would be a pretty clear cut image. A hard working man who came home at the end of the day, put his feet up, smoked a cigarette, and maybe managed to give his kids a quick pat on the head before they fell asleep. Too often, we fall helplessly into the roles society arranges for us, accepting with little resistance the way we think we ought to be. 50 years ago, those hardworking men probably felt that their worth was measured in the food they were...
