Maria Allen
We are a gift and homeware company and family business run by husband and wife team - Charlie and Maria. Our products are handmade, assembled and finished by our devoted and skilled team in our creative studio in Brighton, England.
Maria works on the creative side of the business including creating and designing all of our products, and Charlie works on the operations and logistics side.
Maria started the business from my parents’ kitchen in 2008, whilst studying Graphic Design at Brighton University. It all stemmed from not being able to find the exact piece of jewellery that I wanted, so I decided to teach myself and create my own designs.
The products have naturally developed and evolved over time and one of my favourite things in the world is working on new ideas. It has been so exciting to see the business grow since those early days when it started on the kitchen table. My mission is to create keepsakes that help you to treasure the most important people, moments and memories in your life, and also to create gifts that you would be proud to give.
