Newsletter 1 | 2024

HI , HAPPY NEW YEAR!

A Studio Update

Starting this mailer off with a really old photo of me (2019 - remember 2019?) which was taken at a restaurant I was absolutely over the moon to have had the opportunity to visit. Wolfgat, linking a video here, Winner of Restaurant of the Year 2019. It was a dining experience I will never forget and I hope to revisit again one day.

If you know me you’ll know I was beyond obsessed with Chef’s Table on Netflix (cue Antonio Vivaldi's best-known work, “The Four Seasons”). The obsession, the passion, the perfection these chefs create. I have been known to shed a tear or two over food guys! I cried eating the bokkom butter at Wolfgat (may have been the champagne) but what an experience. Anyway I am sharing this because passion and dedication to a craft really inspires me - I think there is so much we can communicate with food and art/ crafts. The world needs more beauty, that’s why I create!

Best Seller 2023 Alert

THE TRAVEL SHAMPOO BAR

I am personally a huge fan of our shampoo bars, obviously. But so are you!! We were blown away by the support for our shampoo bars. They were a best seller at The Gift Fair and overall one of our top sellers last year. Watch this space...

More Work We Love, please?

WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE CREATING CUSTOM KEY TAGS ETC

Custom work for brands - we love creating branded-for-you key tags, luggage tags and fridge magnets. We’d love to do more of this work this year, so if you need any or know anyone who might need some of these please get in touch. PS, check out TUNL for international shipments for South African businesses.

Goods & Gifts for an Eco-Friendly Lifestyle.

What started as plasticity. creating everyday products using
upcycled materials has become more of us offering upcycled products for the everyday as well as goods and gifts for an eco-friendly lifestyle - shampoo bars, soap bars, textile waste scrunchies, hemp tea towels, hemp soap savers, hemp tote bags. You get the picture.

So, we’re slightly “re-branding” to reflect our mission: in order to live in a way that results in less plastic waste to landfill, there need to be options available. We are contributing to the collective effort to live a little more sustainably by bringing you a place to find goods & gifts for the eco-conscious (for yourself, and for your gifting needs). Let us know if there are any specific products you’d like us to stock/ create.

Ok, that’s all folks! Thanks for reading.

Here’s to making 2024 a year of good things!

Chat again soon,
