For you and your home
The Grey Lurcher
Tucked away at the top of the high street in Falmouth, The Grey Lurcher sells an ever-changing selection of gifts, cards and interior design pieces. Opened in October 2017 by Julie Oats, this little shop is fast becoming a popular stop for the eclectic and quirky products it sells. Named after the much-loved family lurcher, inside there’s a distinct French feel. Sourcing from local designers as well, the shop stocks The Emporium of Illumination, Windswept Girlie for a coastal feel, and Becky Bettesworth posters and prints.
