REUSABLE LOVELINESS FOR YOUR LEFTOVERS
for a year+, ever-so-lovely and they don't cost the earth!
Family-Run, Handmade, Eco-Friendly & Award-Winning!
We are Michele and Andrew, the husband-and-wife team in East London who started our handmade beeswax wraps business in 2020 in the midst of lockdown. We’ve been happily covered in wax ever since:-
It all started with a teal sewing machine during the lockdown in 2020...
Having a lot of time on our hands, I turned my mind to the thing that's always made me happy: crafts. After visibly mending everything in the house (even things with no holes in them) and knitting enough mittens to keep our fingers warm into the next century, I was stuck for another project.
Meanwhile, the disposable face masks were piling up across the country. We hated the idea of all that waste going into landfill, so we decided to do something about it.
Andrew gave me a sewing machine for my birthday (at my request!), we sourced some gorgeous 100% cotton poplin, reminded ourselves that we'd both learned to stitch in school, and designed our reusable fabric face masks.
Making eco-friendly products is a natural extension of how we live: recycling and reusing, reducing plastic, cycling instead of driving and shopping locally. We work together in our studio using 100% green electricity.
We loved the process of working with such gorgeous materials so much that we decided to expand into making beeswax food wraps. They're a product that we’ve used ourselves for many years, and we're excited to introduce others to them.
We choose only the patterns that we love and the focus is always on making very useful, beautifully designed products that make people smile.
Our food wraps are truly hand made from start to finish in our little studio…
No cutting presses, commercial wax cookers or waxing conveyer belts for us!
Andrew is a whizz with the tape measure, rulers and cutting wheel (it looks like a tiny pizza cutter), and Michele mixes, cooks & hand-paints the wax on to the fabric. Once they’ve been hung up and line-dried, we inspect, fold and label them.
We use 100% green electricity, completely biodegradable / compostable packaging, and local materials wherever we can.
