Mermaid's Purse is situated in the charming North Norfolk seaside town of Wells-next-the-Sea. Going strong for eight years now, we are three very different shops under one roof, often referred to by our customers as 'the nicest shop in Wells'.
The gift shop offers gorgeous gifts for all occasions, and beautiful things for the home and garden that you won't find just anywhere. Our clothes shop offers casual clothing and accessories from fashionable labels including Animal, Bench, Quiksilver and Roxy.
And our popular Coffee Shop offers generous freshly filled rolls, light bites, savoury snacks and delicious desserts just a stone's throw from the famous harbour. Sit back, relax and enjoy brunch, lunch or afternoon tea in our picturesque picnic garden.
If you can't make the trip to North Norfolk, you can always buy over the web - our online shops offer many of our most popular products with secure ordering and fast delivery.
And if you're curious as to where the name of the shop comes from, Mermaid's Purse is the name for the purse-shaped egg case of certain skates and sharks which can be found washed up along many local beaches.
