Art & Crafts by the Sea.. Coastal Creatives Boutique Gallery is located in Southbourne in Bournemouth, a few minutes walk from the beach. Run by dynamic duo Rachael Johns and Louise Mitchell, offering South coast based artists and designers an opportunity to showcase and sell their work from their unique and beautiful premises. "We are not a traditonal gallery but we are also not a high street store- we call ourselves a 'Boutique Gallery' offering an ecclectic mix of handmade British designs- the perfect compliment to coastal living.....summed up by one of our customers:-     "Today’s high streets are full of mass produced gifts and almost identical stock, but Coastal Creatives is a breath of fresh air creating a unique shopping experience – dedicated staff to help you find that perfect gift for yourself or friends, British designers/ products and exclusive ethically produced items/gifts. Coastal Creatives is a life style, a true gem and a one off experience that makes you understand the importance and essence of British contemporary design." Katie Ellerker (London)
