Welcome to Watts Trading Organic Emporium
Watts Trading is a family-run independent shop in Lostwithiel, south east Cornwall, selling a wide range of lovely products that do not harm the environment.
Our eclectic general store sells everything from paints, brushes and cleaning products to clothes, toys and store-cupboard foods. You can stock up on essential day-to-day supplies as well as buy special gifts and treats.
The products in our quirky little shop aim to be as environmentally-friendly as possible. Everything we sell is either local, natural, organic, recycled, fairtrade or - better still - a combination of all the above. Alongside this we have an appreciation of finely crafted goods to use in daily life.
Our philosophy is to recycle, reuse and practice fair trade, to use products that have not harmed the planet by their production, and that will rot back into the earth when they have reached the end of their useful life and leave no trace. The shop is housed in a Georgian Grade II listed building.
The Victorian shop front windows still have the advertisments from one of its past incarnations as a grocers shop. Its beautiful appearance is popular with visitors and locals alike, particularly in Summer with flower baskets and brooms hanging at the door.
