Independent homeware retailer Lathams introduces direct shipping to the United Arab Emirates

British homeware specialist takes its first international step

British homeware specialist Lathams has taken its first step into international markets with the launch of direct shipping to the UAE, Dubai. The Essex-based homeware retailer and interior design studio, known for its curated homeware collections and family-run ethos, has seen growing demand from customers across the Middle East. The move marks a significant milestone in the brand’s expansion strategy, extending its reach beyond the UK and strengthening its connection with an established overseas audience.

There is a growing appetite for British interiors products in the UAE, where consumers are increasingly drawn to the craftsmanship, quality materials, and timeless design that define UK brands. This rising demand positions the UAE as an important emerging market for British-made goods, reflecting a broader appreciation for authenticity and enduring style.

Co-directors, Liz, Sarah and Chris Hellmers, comments: “In response to a growing and loyal customer base in the Middle East, we’ve recently expanded our international offering with direct shipping to Dubai - bringing Lathams Love to new homes overseas. This marks an exciting step in our continued global growth, allowing customers further afield to access our curated collections and signature craftsmanship. Looking ahead, we’re exploring ways to build a stronger presence in the Middle East through pop-up events and collaborations with local artisans and craftsmen.”
