As holders of a Royal Warrant of Appointment to HM The Queen as suppliers of haberdashery and household goods, John Lewis Oxford Street recognises the importance of promoting British craft - making the Jubilee weekend the perfect opportunity to work with QEST, a charity which supports excellence in British craftsmanship by funding the training and education of talented and aspiring makers.
