Explore Independent Cambridge: Ark

With the help of Independent Cambridge - the definitive guide to ‘real’ Cambridge - Cambridge Network continues its weekly exploration of the best independent shops, cafés, restaurants, venues and events in Cambridge and the surrounding area. This week, with Christmas around the corner, a unique independent shop: Ark.

This independent shop has cleverly developed over the past 15 years or so – from a small gift shop to a national brand in its own right.

Ark now designs and manufactures its own range of leather goods including colourful clutch bags, purses, pencil pouches and even dog collars and also produces bespoke ranges for some of the leading stores in the UK. Don’t worry though, as everything is available in their shop in Cambridge’s cultural quarter, Peas Hill, next to the Arts Theatre (just around the corner from their previous home in St Mary’s Passage).

Leather bags, available in a rainbow of colours, have become Ark’s trademark. The shop also stocks a wide range of jewellery, children’s gifts and extraordinary things for the home.

Ark’s website offers free next day delivery nationwide. Cambridge residents can also enjoy a special, low-carbon treat from Ark by getting free next day delivery on local orders – brought to you by their bike courier.

Ark is open seven days a week – with good old-fashioned service with a smile.
