Named after her own clothing label, Carole Elsworth’s Handworked is hands-down one of the best shops in Penzance. Alongside the garments, which often incorporate vintage fabrics, the store has a curated collection of homeware, accessories and gifts, all with an emphasis on the handmade. Wooden bowls are filled with merino-silk yarns by a women’s co-operative in Uruguay, raffia baskets are stacked on stools and linen-backed bird prints hang on the wall.
