What could be better than a lovely village lifestyle store? One that is planet-friendly, of course. Cue La Pomme in Ingatestone: a one-stop shop for sustainable gifts and goodies.

This pretty, planet-friendly store in Ingatestone High Street was born out of owner Cheryl’s desire to find new ways to drive down waste – without compromising on style, quality or the enjoyment of having a good old shop(!). This means anything you find in store has been more consciously, naturally or ethically made.

From chic clothing and homewares to ethical beauty and health products, La Pomme is bursting with brilliant buys. Plus, Cheryl loves supporting other Essex indies, so you’re likely to find goodies from some of your other favourite locals sitting on the shelves (hello, New Day Originals).
