About

Founded 15 years ago, we have grown from a kitchen table business to a company selling an eclectic range of gifts, jewellery and clothing to boutiques and galleries across the globe.  We believe strongly in good design, fine craftsmanship and perfect detailing.  For us it is personal – we know everyone who makes our products whether in our village or further afield.

We are proud to be a champion of British design.  Our signature lavender sachets, made with Liberty tana Lawn ^TM, are all sewn and stuffed by hand in our Nottinghamshire village by a team of skilled needlewomen.  Our hankies and bandanas are made by a UK social enterprise manufacturer.  Our jewellery is designed in our studio and then cast and finished in small workshops in Birmingham’s historic Jewellery Quarter, helping to keep traditional skills alive.

Our love of textiles led us to design our own range of fabrics and loungewear.  Working with factories in Europe and India, our clothes are easy to wear.  We are advocates of “slow fashion”, so we are not tied to seasons or fashion trends.  We are as sustainable as possible, printing and making in small batches to avoid over production and waste.

We hope you like the collection as much as we enjoy creating it.
