Made Kind
Friends for over 10 years, Caroline and Anita founded Made Kind after careers in the fashion industry. Feeling uncomfortable about the environmental impact of plastic packaging, as well as the effects of everyday chemicals on their children’s health, they created a range of bath and body products that are safe yet effective. Each item comes in a stylish, refillable glass bottle. The range includes refillable shampoo, hand wash and multi-surface cleaner, made using ingredients that are natural, plant-based and biodegradable.

Jo Butcher
From her home studio in Somerset, Jo embroiders intricate floral artwork. Each unique piece is inspired by the countryside, gardens that she visits, and the way the natural world changes with each season. Jo’s work is meticulously planned and captures her subject in a distinctive, impressionistic style, using traditional stitches. Her collection has been developed to include at-home hand embroidery kits, perfect for those who stitch and want to replicate her wonderful style.

Claire Vaughan Designs
In 2012, with a simple desire to bring the intrinsic beauty of nature into people’s homes, Claire Vaughan launched her award-winning homeware and gift company. All of her beautiful products are plastic-free and made with sustainability in mind. The charming collection combines art and nature. We particularly love her elegant bone china mugs and jugs.

Hollie Childe Art
Hollie began her journey as a professional watercolor artist shortly after graduating from university, and her whimsical paintings, prints and cards aim to celebrate British wildlife. Inspiration comes from long walks in the countryside with her dog, Pippin, by her side, as well as time spent exploring her new passion, gardening. Hollie discovers the magic of the natural world in small moments, such as the settling of frost and the chance sightings of animals. We couldn’t agree more.

Lucky Lobster Art
In a beautiful Hertfordshire art studio, fondly known as ‘The Lobster Pot’, you’ll find Jo creating quirky linocuts, illustrations, homewares, art kits and cards. Jo’s inspiration comes from a love of the coast, the countryside and romance – sometimes even her faithful dogs serve as models for her designs. Everything is produced in the UK, with paper from sustainable sources and prints protected by biodegradable cellophane.

Olivia Jane Designs
Olivia Jane created her very first designs and prints surrounded by the rolling fields and beautiful scenery of the Cotswolds. It all started with her love for the countryside and wildlife – especially hares! Olivia’s passion for ‘all things pretty’ led her to create a range of homeware featuring simple and natural linocut prints. The collection includes Aga covers, oven gloves, prints, candles, aprons and cushions. All of her products are made and hand-finished in the UK, and all of her packaging is either made from recycled materials or is fully biodegradable.
