About Us

Hello! I’m Cathy, the owner of Oakapple Trading.

Oakapple has been part of Petworth for over 25 years, and I’m proud to continue its legacy as a much-loved independent shop in the heart of this beautiful market town. With a passion for interiors, craftsmanship and thoughtful design, I carefully curate a collection that blends timeless country style with a fresh, modern feel.

Inside the shop, you’ll find a mix of well-loved British brands alongside unique pieces sourced from independent makers and smaller suppliers. Supporting these makers is something I truly value, and I’m always looking to introduce new finds to keep the shop inspiring and ever-evolving, while still holding onto the favourites our customers return for time and time again.

Oakapple is all about discovering those special pieces that bring character to your home or make the perfect gift. Whether it’s a familiar favourite or something completely new, I want every visit to feel both inspiring and welcoming.

If you’re in Petworth, do come and say hello as I’d love to see you.
