Our Approach
At Sharland England, we believe the most beautiful homes are built over time.
Founded by Louise Roe, Sharland England creates furniture and homewares to be cherished for years, rather than seasons. In lieu of trend-led pieces, we design timeless collections in a complimentary palette, to be enjoyed in a myriad of combinations, everyday. Inspired by a love of traditional craftsmanship, enduring design and thoughtful entertaining, our collections are created with longevity at their heart.
We recognise our responsibility to continually improve the way we operate. We believe meaningful progress begins with making pieces that are valued, cared for and lasting.
Craftsmanship First - Supporting small makers
Every Sharland England piece begins with a design by Louise and is brought to life by skilled artisans in workshops across England, Spain, Italy, India, Bulgaria and Indonesia.
We work with makers who possess specialist skills that have often been passed down through generations. Their expertise allows us to create products that celebrate indigenous craftsmanship whilst supporting artisanal communities around the world.
By producing in partnership with experienced workshops, we help preserve time-honoured techniques that might otherwise be lost.
All our products are handmade and support the craft and livelihood of people within traditional communities around the world. For example, our linens are hand-loomed, blockprinted, and hand-embroidered by a talented group of women artisans in India; our rattan is entirely hand-woven by skilled makers in Indonesia; our glassware is mouth-blown and our ceramics are hand-painted following centuries-old traditions.
Responsible Production
As a founder-led business, we take a considered approach to production.
We work closely with our manufacturing partners and produce in carefully planned quantities, helping us maintain quality standards while avoiding unnecessary overproduction.
We work directly with a rigorously selected network of artisan workshops and manufacturing partners, with whom we have developed long-standing relationships. We regularly review our suppliers to ensure they share our commitment to quality, craftsmanship and responsible working practices.
Our understanding of material provenance and supply chain transparency is essential, across all product categories.
Caring for Your Pieces
We believe the longest-lasting products are often the most responsible.
We encourage customers to care for and maintain their purchases so they can be enjoyed for many years. Through product care guidance and thoughtful design, we aim to support the longevity of every item we create.

Our Commitments
As a growing business, we recognise that sustainability is an ongoing process of learning and improvement. We are committed to reviewing our practices annually and setting meaningful, measurable goals reflective of our beliefs.
Our goal is simple: to create beautiful products, support skilled craftspeople and to build a business that values excellent quality, longevity and responsible growth.
Sustainability is an ongoing journey, rather than a finite destination.
