A last pre Christmas/New Year update, a few last minute gift ideas, Christmas opening hours and huge thank yous.
 
Firstly trading hours until Christmas are every day 10 - 6 and 10 - 4 on Christmas Eve.
 
We will be closed Christmas Day and Boxing day, reopening on Thursday 27th at 10 am.
We will also be closed New Years Eve and New Years Day.
 
Regular trading hours are 10 - 6 Monday to Friday and 10 - 5 on Saturdays
 
l'uccello has had a huge year, mostly highs and the odd low so despite being a little weary we are very happy with how our little shop has grown.
None of this would be possible without the support and encouragement we receive daily from our gorgeous customers, we are so lucky to be surrounded every day by such an inspiring and creative group of people. So thank you all so much for such a great year, have a very Happy Holidays, we wish you all a lovely time with family and friends.
