A Year We’ll Never Forget at LFH Studio 🫶

As Twenty-Twenty-Thrive draws to a close, it feels only right to reflect on the past year because WOAH. From navigating a break-up to celebrating 10,000 followers whilst selling at the Manchester Christmas Markets, to Oasis getting back together (!!!) and our collab with Oasis Mania, it’s a year that will stay with us forever. 

It’s been nothing shy of fast-paced, emotional, creatively fulfilling and at times, completely surreal. Here’s a look back at the moments that have made this year at LFH Studio so special!

The Break-Up Fallout

It seems crazy to think that at the start of this year I was still navigating my life changing forever, I started the year with a solo getaway to Tenerife. I was so proud that I could do that alone and to be able to recharge for my year ahead in the sun was a dream. I loved being able to fully switch off, think of new ideas and get a bit of winter sun. 

Celebrating Women with Manchester Print Works

One of the most meaningful moments of the year was seeing our International Women’s Day installation brought to life at Printworks Manchester. 

Created in collaboration with you to celebrate strength, the voices of women and community. To have this piece showcased in Manchester, surrounded to the people that continue to inspire LFH Studio felt like a dream come true. We’re so proud of this achievement this year.

The Best Summer of Our Lives. Oasis Saw My Artwork!!! 

Jumping to the moment that defined the summer, and potentially even the whole year - Oasis back in Manchester. 

The atmosphere across the city was literally eclectic. There was a collective sense of excitement, pride and nostalgia that could be felt everywhere. Packed pubs, playlists blasting - Manchester felt alive in a way that was impossible to ignore. 

Experiencing that moment whilst also building LFH Studio was a dream. It brought a whole new collection of prints, merchandise and a collab we’ll never forget. It really was a reminder why culture, creativity and community matter so much, especially in a city like Manchester.

Collaborating with Oasis Mania 

Which brings us nicely to one of our standout moments from the year, our collaboration with Oasis Mania. 

A group that I’d followed for literal years. Working alongside [INSERT NAMES]. A collective so deeply rooted in music, culture and Oasis itself felt a natural fit. Bringing our design alive into a collaborative print tied to such an iconic legacy was both exciting and deeply meaningful. 

It was a project fuelled by shared inspiration from the tour, nostalgia of how long we’ve all been waiting for this moment and a genuine love for the music that the Northern brothers created. We couldn’t be prouder of how it came together and how much you loved it!

Having a Stall at the Manchester Christmas Markets 

Standing on Market Street, with an LFH Studio sign being me was one of those business pinch me moments. Growing up in Manchester, everyone knows how iconic the Christmas markets really are. To be a part of these felt like a huge achievement. 

Surrounded by festive lights, bustling shoppers and the unmistakable energy of the city, it was an incredible opportunity to spread festive joy and meet all the lovely people that support our brand. 

There’s also something so rewarding about watching someone discover your products in real time, seeing them smile, laugh and carefully choose pieces for themselves of someone they love. You absolutely loved our hot girl LFH fortune machine. Every conversation, every kind word, every sale reminded us why we do what we do here at LFH Studio. 

Cold, long days, busy hands and a whole load of gratitude.

Ticking off Goals Before the Year Ended 

We recently reached a huge milestone on our Instagram account, reaching 10,000 followers! This is so much more than just a number to us, it is a milestone that represents a growing community of people who support what we do. From behind the scenes glimpses, to launches, market days and me getting pooed on by a bird - you’re the reason we do what we do. 

Thank you so much for following along, engaging and being a part of the LFH club, helping it grow to be what it is today and beyond.

Looking Ahead 

This year showed us that growth doesn’t always happen overnight. Sometimes it’s late early mornings, late nights, big risks and saying yes to opportunities that seem scary at first but will push you forward.
We’re ending the year incredibly grateful for the support, the collaborations, our community and the city that continues to inspire what we do. 

Here’s to Manchester.
Here’s to creativity.
And to whatever might come next. 

Thank you for being a part of LFH Studio’s journey.

Love, Laura x
