Two best friends who quit their careers to open a market were called “crazy” by their peers - but now they make a living selling all things Taylor Swift at their market stalls.
Ariel Robertson and Becky Kayll, 31, both run online shops, Dark Magic Prints and Becky Kayll Designs respectively, and have been based in Red Brick Market, in the Baltic Triangle, for just over four months.
They share a space in the venue for both their stalls, but also sell at other markets across the North West.
The best friends met at the Makers Market in the Albert Dock, bonding over their shared love of pop icon Taylor Swift.
Ariel explained: “When I started doing the Taylor stuff, it went really well with [Becky’s], and Becky was like, ‘Do you want to get a stall together at Red Brick Market?’ and I didn’t even have to think, I was like, ‘Yep!’ I couldn’t have done it without her.”
“We knew that Swiftie-made merch was a thing [in America] but we weren’t sure if it was a thing here in the UK. With the Eras tour coming, we thought it could be a good thing.”
“[Selling] online was fine, but when we started a market stall, everybody told me I was crazy. They were like: ‘This is so niche, why would you do that? ’”
