WELCOME TO THE CHEAP SHOP TIPTREE

Since 1968 our family-run shop in Tiptree has been supplying and inspiring crafters across Essex and beyond. Our shop looks little from the front, but behind its doors is 4500 square feet of craft-lovers paradise!

Our aim is to stock all materials and tools needed for any task, and we strive to offer the best combination of quality and value for money. We hope our Aladdin's Cave surprises and thrills you as you walk through its door and experience its colour and busy shelves.

If you don't live near us, there's no need to miss out! We keep a large selection of our fabric and yarns on our online shop and don't forget to follow us on Facebook and Instagram to see daily updates and new arrivals. Happy Crafting!
