Back story

HAIRSINES is the family-run business, founded by Kevin and Jenni, who first met at the beginning of 2001.

Sharing a passion for history and aesthetics, they travelled variously to countries

– including Greece, Spain, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland, South Africa, USA, Canada and Thailand – fuelling their creative energy and developing their business skills and knowledge.

A decade later, with their three children in tow, Kevin and Jenni founded their long-planned for business in the East of England – selling a range of decorative homeware (with a handful of French antiques thrown in for good measure) at local markets and county fairs.  

Their stock went down a treat with the fair folk of Cambridge.

The ensuing decades of hard work, steep learning curves, and constant buying and selling have enabled Kevin and Jenni to grow and manage what has emerged as the family business – HAIRSINES LLP.

Now a charming showcase of decorative antique homewares, paintings, curious carvings, garden ware and primitive folkart.

Their stock is quarried from a blend of international trade fairs, street brocantes, vide greniers and flea markets as well as some private collectors and auctions.

Brexit was the catalyst for launching the customs clearance arm of the business because sourcing goods in Europe lies at the heart of the matter, and we always trade compliantly – and full customs declarations are mandatory, not optional.

Since launching the customs side of the business in 2020, HAIRSINES has grown its client list to more than 300, and expands daily.
