As if we didn't have enough collaborations going on this Christmas, we are super excited to share another! The fabulous York-based artist has been working behind the scenes on a Bargestra business card in our first collaborative art project.

We are big fans of focus on local independent businesses and communities, and it has been great to work with him on this project.

Some of you with beady eyes might be able to work out where the inspiration came from! We can reveal a sneak peek here!☝️

If you want to see it in full, get yourself down to 'A Not-So Silent Night’ on the 12th December where will be showcasing the finished piece.

You’ll also be able to grab his fantastic Christmas cards and 2026 calendar—great stocking fillers!
