Upcycled and repurposed
Upcycling, also known as creative reuse, is a way of transforming unwanted products into new materials or products perceived to be of greater quality, such as artistic value or environmental value.

Sustainably made in small batches
What do I mean by sustainably made in small batches?
​
Small batches are more sustainable than mass produced items. For a start, they’re not manufactured in a large factory with questionable labour practices and lots of raw materials. I make each upcycled piece in my home workshop by hand. This means I have take time and care to create with little waste. I inspect the quality of each piece. Sadly this doesn’t happen with mass produced items which if found faulty or with an imperfection end as waste.

Why buy upcycled?
Here are my top 6 reasons for choosing something upcycled
-
Takes us a step closer to a green planet.
-
Upcycled products have unique designs and patterns.
-
Allows materials to be used to their fullest potential.
-
Promotes new age craftsmanship and creativity.
-
Helps support small local businesses and communities.
-
Minimises the use of new and natural resources and often saves items from reaching landfill.
Packaging
Staying true to my ethos, I post all items in recycled and recyclable packaging. My packaging is plastic free - The stickers are compostable, washi tape is biodegradable, cardboard and paper is recyclable.
​
I post all items using Royal Mail as it has the lowest reported carbon emissions per parcel of any major UK delivery company.
