The second weekend is upon us and would you just look at what we've got in store for you.

We have a fantastic day of programming to get stuck into, with workshops, live music, markets, open studios, a community chess installation, participatory art activities, plus a trail of exhibitions that stretches all through E10.

We absolutely love bringing people together, celebrating the capacity for connection and creativity right here in Leyton.

This is the penultimate day. Come out, bring your neighbours, and get involved! We'll see you there.

celebrating my own block printed tunics during @morrisgallery
Women in print exhibition

It was only fitting to use the beautiful gallery as the background for my handiwork

Our daughters loved wearing my pieces, and that's a big win already

They loved the design, pattern, simplicity, soft breathable cotton fabric, and pockets

Check out nailaahmadlondon.co.uk
to shop these retro inspired tunics. These are made to order, perfect for summer, everyday wear, picnics & get togethers.

Like all of my other products, these are all handmade and handprinted at my studio in Leyton

10 years ago, I could never have imagined that Naila Ahmad LONDON would still be here, growing, evolving, and celebrating a whole decade of creativity, resilience, and handmade craftsmanship

There were wins, there were losses, and there were many moments that tested me, but giving up was never part of my story.

Building this business while raising four children, caring for my family, managing a full household, and carrying so many responsibilities was not easy. But alongside all of that, I carried a passion and a dream, a dream to create something meaningful, something beautiful, and something of my own.

Here I am, 10 years later.
10 years of hard work, tough love, blood, sweat, tears, learning, growing, and believing in myself even during the hardest moments.

Thank you so much for all your lovely messages, support, and kindness. To everyone who came to celebrate with me, thank you from the bottom of my heart. It meant so much.

It was especially touching to see some of my regular customers come just to congratulate me. Your continued support over the years truly means everything.

A special thank you to my colleagues from the British Library for showing love and support, too.

Friday’s launch evening was so warm and joyful. We shared chai, conversations, laughter, and the most delicious cupcakes from @sugardelightuk

I also hosted my very first block printing workshop at a pop-up, which felt like such a special milestone.
Thank you all for joining the workshop and for your beautiful gifts 🎁

Thank you to all the wonderful guest creatives who exhibited their beautiful handmade work and helped make this pop-up such a success.

This is only the beginning of the next chapter.

Friday 20th Our daughter @noorsnotes received her #sbs award from one and only @theopaphitis

@noorsnotes
Will share her official photo soon

Like mummy like daughter

It was a historical moment for us. A few years apart, we both won the award and went to collect it in Birmingham

We were even shared on the big screen, I literally had tears of joy and happiness

We left home at 6:30am and went to Birmingham. It was fantastic

Met a few friendly, familiar faces and some new ones too

We got to hear @katiepiper_ inspirational story and her journey, very moving.

We were fasting, and trust me, I didn't even miss food. There was so much to take in, motivation, inspiration, and networking, you name it.

And guess what, there was a quiet zone too, how thoughtful is that?!?!

We crawled under a weighted blanket for a few minutes while on break

We broke our fast with some dates that I had packed with me, Nicki from @pedddleuk
Was the best company

What a fantastic way to start 2026!

Here's to many more wins 🏆

Thank you
@thesbs_crew
For making our day

See you all next year

Still smiling after @muslimshoppingfest

7–8th February will always be special to me.

It was my first time trading at such a large-scale event, and I was completely blown away by the love, compliments, and support I received. Seeing so many of you in person, especially my silent Instagram followers and lovely repeat customers, truly meant the world.

I also had so many fan-girl moments meeting incredible small businesses I’ve admired for years. Being surrounded by so much talent, creativity, and community was inspiring beyond words.

A huge thank you to everyone who purchased and supported my work. My Ramadan and Eid bunting and lavender sachets were my best sellers, and I’m so excited that my Eid décor will be traveling to Scotland for the very first time

It was beautiful to see people from so many different cultures all under one roof, celebrating community together.

I learned so much, laughed so much, drank lots of chai, ate good food, and had the best time trading alongside the sweetest neighbor Rabail @husnbeautyltd and with my lovely sister @rabia_zubair by my side all weekend. I couldn’t have asked for better company.

This year I’m bringing lots of surprises.

Make sure you’re subscribed to my newsletter to stay tuned for upcoming news, events, and new collections.

Thank you, always.
