Sadly ... for various reasons, we are going to have to close our shop, although our business and our website will continue. We have met so many lovely and encouraging people over the years, and are grateful for their support.

During January we will be having a closing down sale with significant discounts on all our products. Do come along, grab some bargains and celebrate a venture which brought circular design to the High Street.

Golden tones and autumn calm...

We are celebrating the shift in season — dried grasses in recycled glass vases, glowing in the afternoon light.

Earthy, simple, and full of texture, the kind of beauty that asks for nothing more.

Browse our range of UK-made recycled glassware and homewares online.

Protect your specs in style.

Our elegant slimline glasses cases are made from soft leather in a range of timeless colours.

Each one is carefully hand-stitched using traditional saddle stitch for maximum strength, then finished with a Sam Browne stud — a classic detail that brings a touch of vintage charm.

Strong, stylish, and built to last.

A little 1970s nostalgia...

MākerCulture founder Bridget Saunders has revived classic macramé designs, hand-weaving each plant hanger with recycled yarn.

Using factory offcuts and worn-out clothes, with no dyes, chemicals, or water waste involved, fibres are spun into strong threads then crafted into cords in a small Polish workshop, and finally wound onto biodegradable spools, ready for a second life.

They're both planet-friendly and a little retro - what's not to like?

Shop the collection in store or online.

Sustainable notebooks with a story.

Back in 1991, Sarah and Mark built a print business in Dorset while raising five boys and living by their family motto: never waste, always reuse.

When lockdown paused their print work, they turned to something new – creating a truly sustainable stationery range.

Using a pioneering process called Cupcycling, they transformed takeaway coffee cups into beautiful, fountain-pen-friendly paper, which they then used to make stylish notebooks.

With minimalist layouts, understated design, and a creamy paper with a circular story - these books are a pleasure to write in.

Picnic season, sorted!

These beautiful picnic rugs from Tweedmill are made from recycled wool.

With a waterproof backing, they will keep you dry even when the ground is wet. The webbing straps make transportation easy; we like to fix them to our backpacks.

A proud UK manufacturer since 1971, Tweedmill’s designs are inspired by the colours and calm of their North Wales home. Each rug is crafted by expert weavers using traditional techniques and natural fibres, with sustainability woven in from the start.

Available in many colours, and perfect for park lunches, beach days, or just lazing in the garden.

Bold, colourful, joy-filled.

We’re loving these vibrant prints and cards by Bristol-based artist Rosie Reiter.

Rosie’s work is inspired by her travels through jungles, deserts, and botanical gardens around the world. Expect tropical flowers, cacti, jewel-toned birds, and very pleasing colour combinations.

All her designs are created in the UK, printed locally, and packaged plastic-free.

This is art as it should be - made to lift your mood but lower your impact.

Good things come in all shapes and sizes...
..and colours and textures too!

These joyful, sculptural vases are 3D printed in the UK using biodegradable filaments. They are made with care and made to last.

The designer behind them is Keeley Traae, who has spent 25 years creating for some of the world’s most recognisable ceramic and homeware brands. But this collection? It’s all her.

Started during lockdown, inspired by nature and bold mid-century design, each form begins as a hand-drawn sketch before being digitally shaped and 3D printed.

They're a celebration of colour, geometry, and beautiful, intentional living.

Find them in-store now.
