The girls in Manchester are certainly mad for Lady Luck Rules OK and they stock up their jewellery boxes at No Angel in the crazy Affleck's Palace on Church Street. Amy owns the gaff and has done so for over 10 years, but with the adorable baby Lila on the scene now, you'll probably be served by Jenny or Beth. Amy and I met at Portobello 2 years ago when she was sourcing undiscovered indie labels. She was my second ever stockist, placing great orders and paying super fast - a dream for small businesses. She continues to support small designers who are starting out, giving them an ideal showcase and her customers love her for it. Especially Dolly (pictured below) who owns oodles of Lady Luck jewels. Go Dolly!

Other indie labels in stock are Bonnie and Clyde from Manchester; You Can Make it Happen (pictured above left and right); Brennan and Burch; Aline Jayne who prints on African fabric; Soup who rework vintage scarves into tops; I Saved Laurence and the punk outfitters Charles of London. So, if you're in the neighbourhood why don't you swing by between 10am and 5.30pm Mon-Fri and til 6pm on Saturday. You can peruse the ace merchandise or just hang out and listen to the music (Amy's husband is the superstar DJ Tom Wainwright!).

Hey leona i received my ursala and fizzy lizzy yesterday (just in time for my higher english exam!! scary stuff - got it tomorrow!!) and they totally rock!! so much that ive decided to buy them in other colours!! you're a star *

Just wanted to say how much I love your jewellery!!! I recently bought a pair of sid and nancy earrings and I have been getting loads of compliments ablut them. i am so glad you made the website mail order as before that I had no idea how I was going to buy your prods. I looked before in Portobello market for your stall but couldn't find it, are you still there and could you direct me??? Maybe I didn't go far enough. I really admire how you started Lady Luck and you have inspired me to make some of my own jewellery designs. None are as good as yours thou!!!
Looking forward to my next buy, avid fan, Lucie xxxxx

hey Lucie!
I sold my pitch at Portobello just before christmas so maybe that's why you couldn't find me, he he. It's still a great day out tho, I really miss it. I love it when I hear you guys are all starting to make your own jewellery, it's such fun, home crafting is going to explode real soon (I hope) x

Hello!
You had long musical note with dice earring on your website a few weeks ago that I LOVED any chance of getting some?
Keep up the fantastic work,
Lisa

awesome!
i moved back from london last fall, where i did some work with castoff. (we did margin last year... did they play horribly bad techno again? eep!)
your stuff is amazing!
i keep waiting for craft stuff to explode in the u.k. like it has over here in the u.s..... one day, perhaps... x

hey Lisa!
I've sold out of the musical notes now, but I think Dragonfly (one of my London Stockists) still carry them. I'll give them a call and see if you can purchase a pair from them. So stay tuned...x

Brilliant Thank you :)

***Hey Girls***
Lisa - I just spoke to James who runs Dragonfly in Camden and he has a few Lets Dance earrings in stock. If you call him on 020 7267 3355 you can purchase a pair using a credit/debit card and he will post them to you. Yay for James!
Natalie - I'm actually in the process of overhauling the whole chain brooches section (soon to be called Pin Me Down) and have 10 new sizzling designs to go up. I think they'll be ready in about 2 weeks so check back then.
Becky - You really are Lady Luck's number one fan, I think you own my entire collection! You'll love No Angel, check out the Killer Shoes tee by I Saved Laurence, perfect for a Kings of Leon gig...x

I'm moving to manchester....!!!

I am sooo jealous over tha people that can just wander into a shop like tha one in Manchester and buy your stuff! I live in a little town that has no shops no way near as cool as that one *sob* I have to travel at least half an hour to get myself some awesome finds. Thankgod for tha internet, your site and mail order. Hehe.

Hey Leona
You asked for comments about the ordering system so here they are: it is truly fantastic I have always had my order within 3 working days of placing it, in perfect condition. My last purchase was the triple G earings which I am currently living in, They are so funky but also really delicate and pretty. They arrived in perfect time as I had a horrible exam the next day and what could be more appropriate than wearing earings from lady luck rules ok as my lucky charms. They definitely seemed to do the trick. xxxxxxxx

Hi Leona,
I noticed those gorgeous Bambi cuffs, but they aren't in the sale or on the site at all, I also wondered if you made those Electric Daisy necklaces with Bambi badges in the middle? Anyway, I luv luv LOVE the jewellery and hope you carry on with you designing talent.
You rock, xxx
