Our very first collection remains one of our most popular! This stylish typographical design pin-points your favourite city with Sheffield’s Coordinates, whilst providing a brief biography of the Steel City.

The T-Shirts in this collection feature the widest range of colours available across our clothing range. Plus there’s a selection of colourful women’s fit T-Shirts, which have proven popular!

The Greetings from Sheffield Collection

Greetings from Sheffield evokes the ‘Large Letter’ postcard designs of the 1930s-1950s. Each letter of the word SHEFFIELD contains an image representing a local landmark, whilst the slogan presents ‘The Outdoor City’.

The typography was so loved we released a version featuring just the lettering on a T-Shirt and a Mug, whilst the full billboard-style design remains particularly popular on the Art Prints and Organic Tote Bags.

Child of Redgates Collection

Our first foray into very specific Sheffield locations features a real lost treasure; Sheffield’s wonderful toy emporium Redgates.

Redgates is fondly remembered by most Sheffielders, having served children of the city for generations before closing their doors in 1988. Now you can show your fondness for this much-missed institution with a collection of T-Shirts, Hoodies, Mugs and Organic Tote Bags — the perfect Sheffield Gift!

About The Sheffield Guide

The Sheffield Guide began making and selling Sheffield-themed memorabilia and gifts during 2021 in order to survive the Covid-19 pandemic when our usual work dried up!

Each purchase you make goes towards supporting The Sheffield Guide, local content creators, artists and businesses.

Every item is made-to-order, especially for your purchase! Where possible we support the local economy by sourcing our products and services within the Sheffield City Region.

Additionally, we prioritise independent businesses that use ethical practices and sustainable materials where possible. For instance, our base T-Shirts are from a Fair Wear and PETA Certified supplier, made from organic cotton and suitable for vegans.

Where it is has not been possible to source to our high standards within the city region, we utilise businesses as close as possible. Plus, all orders are shipped to you in 100% plastic-free packaging (with the exception of Framed Art Prints, which require bubble wrap for the glass).

Support Local

Whether there is something for you or not in this list, I would like to encourage you to shop local where possible for your gifts.

It has been a terrible couple of years for many small businesses and they need your help now more than ever. Deciding to shop with a local retailer not only helps to keep the local economy going, it could mean the difference between that small business surviving into next year, along with the local jobs that go along with it.
