About Ceci Paolo

Ceci Paolo is a culinary and lifestyle emporium based in the charming, historic market town of Ledbury, Herefordshire. Housed in a revitalised 16th Century timbered building, the store paved the way in the '90s for the establishment in the town of a fine collection of individual, “real” shops, attracting visitors from far and wide. The business was founded and designed by me, Patricia Harrison, an Australian who worked internationally for over 30 years, but my life-long subliminal dream was to open a shop. And not just any shop but one that offers a feeling of excitement and anticipation as soon as you enter it. The store is dedicated to celebrating and sharing my love and enjoyment of food, wine, clothing and beautiful, stylish but useful objects for the home. Everything is chosen by me which gives what we sell a total internal consistency. Since 2007 most of the store's exciting products have been available to national and international customers to buy online through this website www.cecipaolo.com

Delicatessen
The Ledbury shop stocks a large range of meats, cheeses, smoked fish, dairy, homemade salads, tarts, frozen meals, baked goods, including award winning Peter Cooks Bread. Specialising in Mediterranean & Oriental ingredients, as well as hard-to-find ingredients, we also offer advice on how to use them. All products are carefully selected from only the best and often small producers. In these difficult times we are adding more food products available to buy online. We are currently only able to send out ambient products but chilled and frozen items added to the website can be purchased through Click & Collect.

Clothing and Accessories
The exquisite clothes ranges have several things in common – they are stylish, comfortable, generous, exceptionally well-made, mainly in natural fabrics, and, being designed for real women, are fashionable while at the same time being beyond fashion. Brands include eskandar, Yacco Maricard, GR Nature, Oyuna, Bianco Levrin, Two Danes, Ralston, Yavi, Neeru Kumar, Moyuru and a stunning collection from the Traces of Me_TM of Portugal. To complement the clothes there are great accessories, such as hats, delicate silk shawls, hand bags, shoes and jewellery, mainly one-off pieces made by artisanal jewellery designers.

Oriental Style
A unique collection of antique and modern Japanese and Chinese furniture, screens, ceramics, lacquer ware, kimono, stationery, pictures and smaller pieces intermingles with the clothing. Classic and modern lighting, as well as oriental lanterns, illuminate the store and are available to buy.

Kitchen, Home and Lifestyle
Together with "The Kitchen Cupboard", a speciality cookware shop that is a tenant within our building, we stock everything you could need for your kitchen under one roof. The table top is well catered for with glassware and ceramics from local designers as well as Burma, China, Thailand, Vietnam and Japan. Kitchenware is dominated by a large Le Creuset collection. Gifts are well thought-out and unusual whether they be stationery, gadgets or just plain good ideas. The product selection is always evolving and provides constant interest for customers.
