So far, since isolation and social distancing, with YOUR help...

by Georgia Wyatt-Lovell

When it became clear that we were all going to be at home for a while, either working from home, self isolating, or helping the vulnerable keep safe, we made a decision that thourghout the isolation period, we would give an amount of money per sale of bag, do a charity that supports those trying to escape from domestic violence, or in abusive situations in the home that they cannot escape or have respite from in these very difficult times

We Never Really Mention it....

by Georgia Wyatt-Lovell

When I was little, I never shut up. Ever. My mum likes to remind me of this, every chance she gets- and especially delights in the fact that now, our 5 year old daughter, does exactly the same [apparently, karmas a bitch...!] Anyway, my point is that now, I don't do that much rambling on. Unless

Life After The Beach | The Journey From Beach to Bag

The FIRST [animated] film we ever made, showing the journey our up cycled deckchair canvases make from the beaches of the South Coast, to becoming your bag...

When we first showed it to our [3 year old] daughter, she cried her eyes out! We had to reassure her [and anyone reading this!] that Declan chair is STILL very much alive and well and living in the workshop- he is in retirement and will never be made into a bag!

We can't promise, however, that no other chairs were harmed during the making of this film :/

Interestingly, the stripes change according to the beach they may have been sourced from, we are always adding new stripes, to both this site and our etsy store The shop link below, will take you to the current range of blue and white striped totes, sourced from Sandown Beach, here on the Island and ten minutes away from our Bembridge workshop

We are in the process of making some new little films, but, as promised in last weeks blog, we wanted to bring those of you who may have just joined us [thanks!] up to speed on our ethos and practices
