An exciting new shop has opened in Caversham by the owner of a local neighbouring coffee shop.

Samantha Smith, owner of the Collective cafe on Church Road, made the decision to open The Edit when the unit opened up six weeks ago.

After five years as the owner of The Collective, Samantha has developed a close relationship with the community in the sleepy Berkshire area.

The Edit, located on Prospect Street, opened on Friday, November 8 and sells a variety of items including clothes, jewellery, beauty and skincare, art and homeware.

Every product is chosen by Samantha from independent businesses across the UK, including her own jewellery brand.

The Caversham Mum said: “It’s been quite a journey. I first decided to open the store six weeks ago because I saw a gap in the market in Caversham.

“So far, we have had such a good reaction from customers.”
