From the Earth, crafted with care
Cosy creations
Crafted with a luxurious blend of natural fibres, my hats embody softness and warmth, thanks to the elegant combination of wool, alpaca and cotton. I take great joy in creating hats for every customer, even those who claim hats aren't their forte. Witnessing the transformation as they find the perfect fit is a gift in itself.
Organic & Natural Components
My soaps and deodorants are crafted with organic oils and other natural ingredients. This ensures my products are gentle on your skin and free from chemicals.
Botanical
Herbal medicine has been practiced for centuries in various cultures around the world. It embodies traditional knowledge passed down through generations, offering insights into the healing properties of plants that have been tested and refined over time.
I'm dedicated to using quality herbs in crafting my herbal cough mix. I cultivate some myself, ensuring the utmost care from growing to harvesting and processing. For others, I responsibly source from trusted suppliers, maintaining the highest quality standards throughout the process.
Willow
I craft my baskets and lampshades using a diverse array of willow varieties sourced from a supplier in Somerset. Recently, I've embarked on a journey to cultivate my own willow bed locally, fostering a deep connection to the entire process, from growth to creation. Prior to weaving, I meticulously prepare the willow by soaking the withies and allowing them to mellow, ensuring the utmost quality and flexibility in every finished product.
