If you’ve ever wondered where you can support your local girl gang here in the north-east, then head on down to Flaura Rose in Ouseburn.

Impossible to miss – seriously, just follow the delicious smells, mirror ball reflections and neon pink everything – you’ll find a hub of brilliant local artists and makers inside Flaura Rose. From hand-made wall art to one-off homeware and multiple female-owned clothing brands across two floors, this is your one stop shop whenever you need a dopamine hit. Owner Laura Walvin opened Flaura Rose in March 2024 and continues to grow it, adding brilliant buys from local creators all the time. As well as being the perfect place to do some shopping, Flaura Rose also hosts plenty of different workshops to make everything from banners and wreaths to needle point and tattoo pop ups. Or you could just pop in for a natter, which is always firmly encouraged. FR
