Wyatt & Jack® and our Inflatable Amnesty® get a mention from Kem, Ruth and Eamon on ITV This Morning...WOOOP!

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

its not all loo rolls [or lack of!] and other things that we've posted just to keep chipper [i'm not gonna patronise everyone, because you we all know theres some other quite worrying stuff going on]⁠
one of the things that i personally cant get out of my head, are the people [women, men AND kids] who may be stuck at home, in situations that are horrendous...

This week, I have been mostly thinking about when a business becomes a corporate [if at all?], when the transition is made from 'crafter' to small business/ company and when it becomes ok, to copy other peoples ideas?

"Well, it's NEVER ok to copy!" I hear some of you shouting at your screens as you read this, Im inclined to feel the same, but check this out...

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

The newest addition to our ex- bouncy castle range... Ta DAHHHHH!!

Its the Zip- Zip HOORAY tote! Two bags- in one, so you don't need to choose....

This week, we added two new additions to our Rainbow Mermaid Family... Our original rainbow mermaid bag, was made in collaboration with Lindsey Col...

So, imagine this…

You set up a business, maybe... selling bags [?!]

And you think to yourself, I’ll make a red and blue bag… and i think people will REALLY like the red and blue, so I’ll make FIFTY of them, lets say….

In order to do this, I’ll source the fabric, for 50 bags… [in the most sustainable way possible]

** UPDATE:  19th October 2020 please see our most recent instagram posts for updates, our lead times are now MUCH shorter and our new postal label...

What a funny old week [again!]] Theres been SO SO much press recently, NONE of which we were expecting, but all of it positive!  Well, to be hone...

We are currently away on a family holibobs... to say thank you for your patience- have a pouch on us!

I just realised, that earlier this week, was the year anniversary of the launch of our Inflatable Amnesty initiative... [ not a year since we started making bags from inflatables BUT a year since we thought it may be a good idea to see if other people wanted to save theirs from landfill too...]
