About us
Managed by University of the Arts London’s (UAL) Careers & Employability team, not just a shop is the place to discover unique home, fashion, giftware and artwork by UAL students and alumni. Students and alumni from all six UAL Colleges can submit their work to be considered for sale via our open calls. Outside of retail hours not just a shop is also a learning space; proceeds from sales are reinvested into supporting the next generation of creative students with their businesses through UAL’s enterprise learning programme.
Visit us
We would love for you to visit us in store. In addition to our permanent location in Holborn, we currently have a pop up store in our London College of Fashion campus on the East Bank in Stratford, from October 31st until December 19th, 2024.
not just a shop – High Holborn Permanent Store

(Closest underground stations: Holborn and Chancery Lane)
not just a shop – East Bank Pop Up Store

We are trying our best to make sure the products available on our online shop mirror the products for sale in our shop. However, due to the handmade, one-off nature of some items, this is not always possible. If you have seen something in our shop that you can’t find online, please email us at notjustashop@arts.ac.uk and we can arrange for this item to be made available for purchase on our website. This also works the other way round!
