Our Story

At Love East Sussex we’ve always taken pride in our local area and looked to support the small independent businesses and artisans who make the area what it is.


By chance one day, we came across Creature Clothes, drawn in by the sight of Beetle in the window. Founded and run by Cosi, her passion shone through and showed us what shopping local was all about. It’s a chance to meet, support and grow independent businesses that need and deserve our support.


Love East Sussex was born from Cosi’s inspiration and we’ve never looked back since. Our goal is to create a way where anyone can support the lifeblood of our community while also being rewarded for shopping with them. And for the businesses themselves, it’s a chance to stand with other independents and skilled traders who believe that personal service still matters.
