Well wrapped 

Presentation is key in all walks of life. With numerous ways to alter appearances, here are some beautifully packaged options: for business and for pleasure.

Whether you’re considering a seasonal rebrand for your product, a restyle for the new season or ways that we can care for our bodies…

Upcycled with a small carbon footprint 

What Daisy Did

Ethical and Sustainable fashion, made in the UK from upcycled materials and employing homeless people in the local community.

The new Wayfarer Collection is made in the UK from high grade ex-military materials. These materials are 99% locally sourced with approximately 95% being recycled and 99% being from within 75 miles of our workshop which means that the creation of these bags has a very small carbon footprint. What Daisy Did are also piloting a new scheme which gives employment opportunities to homeless and vulnerable people in the local community.

Atlas Packaging

Everyone will be impressed by exceptional packaging, its design and reliability. It’s a representation of your brand and often what is used to build a first impression.

Atlas Packaging will advise businesses. Unlike other packaging companies Atlas has an in-house team of both Structural and Graphic designers. Packaging is not just the housing to your product, but when used effectively, presentation packaging can be an incredibly effective way to enhance brand image within a retail environment. From gift packaging to presentation units, Atlas can make it. They are one of the UK’s leading packaging companies and based in Devon.

Anna Jacobs has built her brand brilliantly and has been so busy recently with lampshade making workshops at Heal’s in London. These are great fun so look out for her future ventures! The last one is at the Heal’s Kingston store on 3rd November.

Anna’s pop up shop is at the Heal’s Festival of Light, Tottenham Court Road until 6th November. So get there fast.

This is a beautiful lamp designed by Anna Jacobs. The hand made base is made in high quality crystal glass near the North Norfolk coast in England with a handmade cotton lampshade that becomes beautifully luminous when lit.
