Description

We're excited to bring you this limited edition 'Summer' bag design with original artwork by Charlotte Hogg.

Charlotte is a nature inspired artist and illustrator based in rural Somerset. She creates intricate artworks and patterns for textiles, packaging and homewares. Following over 16 years experience working as a designer in the fashion industry, Charlotte has mastered how to create eye catching, colourful designs that are innately influenced by the natural world that surrounds us. Charlotte uses hand painted and traditional techniques and adopts influences from vintage botanical reference books, folkloric design and historical pattern as well as from the flora and fauna in her garden. Her studio is based in rural Somerset where she lives with her husband and young family.

Recycled crushed, washed and dried whelk shells are ideal for indoor plant pot and terrarium top dressing. Great for cacti, succulents and houseplants. Alternatively you can mix the shells into soil or compost to improve drainage and aeration.

Caryl Andrews, Founder of Shell on Earth

Shell on Earth

New Quay, Wales

Hi, I'm Caryl, co-founder of Shell on Earth. I launched this company along with my husband, Jordan, in 2019. Our desire was to recycle the shells generated at our family's seafood processing business, rather than sending them to landfill.

We’ve been processing shellfish here on the West coast of Wales for over 40 years. We currently specialise in processing whelks.

The whelks are caught locally in traditional pots, a low impact method of fishing which means minimal damage to the sea floor and marine habitats. We’re passionately committed to sustainability and are always looking for new ways to do better.

It's estimated that 5,000 tonnes of waste shells are generated in the UK fishing industry every year. We’re proud to not only reduce our waste output from the factory, but also to help support a circular economy by utilising 100% of the whelks we process.
