About

Make do and Mend and vintage style have always proven to be popular, but none more so than right now. With the current economic climate and recession people are starting to buy local again, with the British government pumping money into the economy and businesses, encouraging people to buy within the UK and support local home grown business.

There is currently a niche within the publications market that has not been tapped into for the 18-45+ year old modern day woman. It is an area where Dandy-Lion will stand alone producing an innovative, forward thinking and conceptual scrapbook style publication with a traditional, very British country twist.

Dandy-Lion is the magazine for all things craft, fashion, textiles and vintage. Inspired by Mother Nature herself and the Great British countryside it proves that there really is no place like home.

Inspired by the Make do and Mend ethos of the 1940s and 50s, Dandy-Lion is your indispensable scrapbook to the latest style trends on a budget, providing you with projects to keep you going well into the wee hours, recipes to ensure your yummy treats are the best for miles around, and some helpful hints and tips to transform you into a domestic goddess, all produced with a hint of understated glamour and a pinch of femininity thrown in for good measure.

Dandy-Lion is a platform for the very best up-and-coming illustrators, photographers, textile artists and journalists and will be sure to get your creative juices flowing and inspire your very own make do and mend ideas.

Bringing you the essential information about the latest and greatest exhibitions, films and books from around the Great British Isles, all ethically, sustainably and locally produced, printed and brought to you, to treasure for years to come.
