East of India Arrives at Priory House

East of India

Priory House are pleased to be selling East of India products in the Gift Shop.

East of India was started by John Ayris and Anne Spratling in 1991. John had travelled extensively while Anne had studied Fashion and Textile Design at Canterbury Art College. While journeying through Asia they met a talented family who made the most charming handmade goods from local natural materials. By working closely with these craftsmen a small range of products was put together. Financial help came through the Prince's Trust in the form of a loan that paid for the first consignment of stock and its transportation to England.

Today all of their products are designed with love and care at their studio in Folkstone and they still work closely with those original artisans. They now employ numerous other family members and friends to satisfy demand.

We have a lovely range of products in the Priory House Gift Shop, perfect gifts for that special someone, from beautiful plaques with heartfelt messages to fat mermaids! These products are also exclusive to the Gift Shop in this area.
