Honouring Our Designers

The Artists & Designers Who Make Our Creations Possible

When you browse through our shop — whether it’s embroidered earrings, playful polymer clay cutters, or dragon eggs — you’re not just seeing our handiwork. You’re also seeing the creativity of so many incredible artists, digitisers, and designers who make these creations possible.

It’s truly a team effort, even if we’ve never met them in person.

Why We Use Digital Files

As a small family-run handmade business, we wear a lot of hats: makers, photographers, packers, customer service team — and dreamers.

While it’s our long-term goal to design everything in-house, right now we rely on digital files from talented creators all over the world. These designs allow us to turn thread, vinyl, PLA, and a spark of imagination into the finished products you know and love.

By purchasing these files — always with the proper licences — we’re also directly supporting other small businesses and independent artists. It’s a beautiful ripple effect of creativity and community.

Giving Credit Where It’s Due

We want to be transparent about where our designs come from and give heartfelt thanks to the amazing people whose talent often goes unseen. Below are some of the wonderful places we source our files from. Please check them out and give them some love — they’re truly incredible!

Running Our Business with Integrity

All files are purchased directly from these artists and shops, or downloaded with the proper commercial licences. We do not sell unlicensed items or anything that knowingly infringes on copyright or intellectual property.

Respecting the work of fellow artists is a non-negotiable part of how we run our business — and we’re so grateful that when you shop with us, you’re also helping support all these incredible creators.

Thank You for Being Part of Our Journey

When you place an order, you’re not just supporting us — you’re helping keep a whole creative ecosystem alive. Thank you for being part of this story.
