We are a small business based in rural Norfolk, with the expansive beaches of the beautiful North Norfolk coast close by, the open farmland to the west and the ancient city of Norwich to the east. All of our designs are created in Norfolk and are inspired by Birdie's travels across the globe.
The studio is filled with a constantly evolving collection of photographs, sketches and scraps of fabric from far off places which are pored over every season for fresh inspiration.The design process starts with rough sketches of patterns and shapes which are gradually refined, added to, coloured and refined again.

Have just purchased items from the Fakenham store. What a gem of a place. Not the usual run of the mill shop. I bought some cushions and a kantha which were really well made. The kantha is just right for those cool summer nights. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. If you are looking for a different interior decor style which is classy and comfortable you should try here. Really recommend it.

I absolutely love the interior decoration advice that Birdie Fortescue provides. In addition to the great materials and beautiful designs the entire team is really helpful and is caring. Also, it's so great to go to the showroom and see all the beautiful pieces styled. Definitely recommending ! #MyBirdieFortescue

Such a nice shop - the website is great and very efficient and the shop is also a joy to visit: always changing the layout, always beautifully laid out, and full of the most gorgeous things, with really helpful staff both in the shop and over the 'phone. Multiple purchases - thanks Google for alerting me to this!

2 years ago I purchased a table from birdie . On taking delivery of the table it was brought to my attention by a few people that they thought that it had Live woodworm . I phoned Birdies to be told that the two people who had raise concerns didn’t know what they were talking about and it had been treated successfully . The table then took place in… my property. Recently on moving from my property I tried to sell the table to be told that it was riddled with live wood worm . I returned the table to Birdie to be told by Herself yes it did have wood worm but I wasn’t entitled to
