Lark was launched in England in 2005 by Allison Jones. Her whimsical range of hand-made toys, accessories and homewares is now sold in shops across the UK and features regularly in newspapers and magazines.

Allison moved to rural Victoria in 2006 with her Australian partner, Paul, and their young children, in search of a simpler lifestyle. They have now launched Lark in Australia and their unique products are available from these fabulous shops and here on this website.

Lark's products are hand-made, high quality, ethical, stylish and fun. Our aim is to make you smile!

Allison continues to make many of the products herself. She also works wih local seamstresses, and with non-profit community organisations, including an organisation of women artisans in rural Bangladesh and a group of adults with disabilities closer to home in Central Victoria.

Allison was surrounded by ‘home-made’ clothes and toys as a child, and much of her inspiration comes from these lovingly-made objects and the people who made them, as well as from vintage children’s book illustrations.

In 2007 Allison launched some of her designs through other children's labels in the UK and US.

In Australia, Allison has recently formed Lark & Friends, a group of like-minded independent designers from Australia and the UK, to help promote and sell the loveliest products to the best shops around the country.

The Lark & Friends products are available to buy from our web shop, but we urge you to SHOP LOCAL and try in the first instance to buy through one of our excellent stockists.
