✈️ What kind of traveller are you?

Are you the one who packs 12 outfits for a 3-day trip?
The schedule-obsessed tour guide of the group?
Or the human embodiment of “vibes only” who finds the beach bar and never leaves?

This one’s just for fun, but also a little love letter to the people who travel like they live: in their own way.

Our new jewellery collection is almost sold out 🤯

These are the pieces you loved and their sisters (same design, different stone) which still have a few pieces left.

All our jewellery is handmade in small batches using silver 950 with loads of love and care, so it blows my mind how much love they’ve received already 🥰

If one of these beauties has been on your wish list, don’t wait too long, they won’t be here for much longer.

Which one stole your heart… and which one got away?

A summer in pieces.
Little moments stitched together.
Sand between your toes.
That first sip of cold wine.
A dress that dances when the wind picks up.
Salt in your hair.
No plans. Nowhere to be.
Just this.

If fake Spring had you fooled... yes, it fooled me too 😭 But I don't want to let go of that Spring feeling: warm sun in my face, smiling people on the street (people in London even saying "hello"!?), doggies EVERYWHERE 🥰🥰 That Spring feeling that warms your heart, I'm here for it ❤

And even though the cold is back, I'm refusing to let go of the feeling. Rain or shine, we dress in style 💪

We don’t like doing what everyone else is doing. And not because we want to go against the current and stand out, it’s just because we think it’s not right for us.

This Black Friday STOP and think if you really NEED that new thing or if you’re getting influenced by all the ads that are bombarding you this season.

Think about where you spend your money, because it really does make a difference. And if the deal is too good to be true, most certainly someone, somewhere, is paying the price.

We’re not as cool as Patagoina, so we’re not going to tell you to not buy this jacket 😅 but know that if you do buy from us, you’re directly contributing to the wellbeing of people. And that is cool.

Today I want to do a post of appreciation.

Four years ago I was completely miserable in a career I'd worked hard to achieve but that was having a terrible toll on my mental health.

When I went to Peru, I was completely lost. I didn't know how long I would be staying for, or what I'd be doing exactly.

In a small village, up in the mountains, I met the most amazing women and found my purpose. They inspire me every day and their determination encourages me to keep going.

Their incredible crafts have walked the runway at London Fashion Week, have won Sustainability awards, made it to lifestyle and fashion magazines, and are slowly gaining the appreciation of our growing customer base.

They are recovering traditions that were disappearing, and building a better future for their families.

With so many ethical companies closing down recently, I have to stop and look at everything we have achieved so far.

I am forever grateful to the people that have believed in this project and purchased our products. Thanks to you, we've just launched a new, super exclusive, upcycled collection supporting men in prison in Peru and local makers in East London.

Your support, reviews, shares, and encouragement means the world to me and enables me to keep providing a fair income to the incredibly skilled artisans I work with.

Thank you!

If you want to shop in person you can find me at Christmas by the river in Hay's Galleria in London Bridge 11-9 every day 😅

Since starting Handmade Stories, I've met incredible people from all walks of life and with different points of view. I love interviewing members of our community who actively share their ideas and challenge the status quo ✊

Today I'm bringing you the latest interview from The Change Makers in our Community interview series, and this one is very special! The one and only who left her job as cabin crew and is now a published author! 👏👏

I love Wendy's poetry because it talks very openly about things women experience and normalises topics such as menstruation, ma********on, or body hair.

I can't wait for you to read this interview! Click on the link in bio to read it 👀

This is part of The Change Makers in our Community series, a series where we interview customers that want to raise awareness of important topics that don't get talked about enough. If you want to take part, send us an email or DM. Every story is important and together, we can change the narrative 💪
