Up-cycling in our hearts


Up-cycling – so much more positive a word than recycling! Eco-living is nothing new, but there is a noticeable shift. Recently we have been coming across beautiful and inspirational pieces, hand made out of what is essentially waste, at affordable prices. Made valuable by crafts people and artists who know what people want – vintage, unique pieces with an edge, things that last.

Joanna Jacobs' Beauties
Not big on Valentine’s day, must confess. But it so happens we have sourced some brand new earrings featuring lovebirds, hearts…. You know where I’m going with this, right?  Why we fell for them was not only that they are fabulously cool and different but also lovingly hand crafted from bottle tops. Making something beautiful out of something worthless somehow feels so right - right now.

Stay tuned for more up-cycled products on our website coming soon!
