World360 launches its brand new website!

To coincide with our first birthday we have launched our new look website. Phew. We now have many more categories including Lifestyle & Clothing, we have changed the way you navigate the site and have introduced our new branding and colours. We still have a long way to go, including the opening of the KIDS category but in the mean time, we hope you like it and enjoy exploring the many new hand made products.

The brilliant Vanessa comes to us from Oliver Bonas where she was also Web & PR Manager...with over 4 years of web & PR management experience she is already invaluable.
