Collaborations

Bespoke or Custom Products Collaboration always seems to lead to innovation. We often create bespoke designs for other businesses to sell on their websites, using our skills and resources. Hewn Bakery in Chicago, USA is one such company. Hewn has been listed as one of the US top bakeries by Food and Wine Magazine. We provide them with Hewn Bakery branded merchandise with specially printed linen bread bags, linen shoulder bags and most recently a sandwich wrap. They now sell these new sandwich wraps to their regular customers who receive 25c off the cost of their sandwich if they use the wrap – see their video short here! Our collaboration allows them to deliver a service which supports sustainable living and reduces packaging waste.

Adding Value Instead of Discounts for Alex Monroe The team at UK jewellery maker, Alex Monroe were looking for an alternative to offering discounts on Black Friday. They wanted to offer customers a beautiful travel pouch for holding their jewellery. After some discussion, we created a beautiful blue velvet purse with a brass zip. The team at Alex Monroe suggested involving Emma Giacalone, a Gloucestershire based textile artist, to embroider a beautiful signature Alex Monroe bumble bee and logo in gold thread on each purse. Within two weeks, the production schedule was agreed, and the first 100 pouches were finished, quality checked and sent off. It’s a great example of how creative people, working together can produce beautiful things. For Alex Monroe click here.

Slow Stitching With Rebekah Johnston We've created two Slow Stitched Craft Kits with textile artist, Rebekah Johnston, who creates quilted textiles that explore themes of emotional wellbeing. The craft kits are designed for adults, to stitch by hand and contain all the materials needed to create either a mini quilt or a set of 4 coasters. Rebekah uses a video to gently share her expertise. The process is designed to be calm and meditative and is a lovely way to develop an interest in quilting, using fabric cutting room offcuts of linen, to help us minimise waste. The final pieces can be practical pieces for use at home or art for the wall
