Our 2024 limited edition Wildflower bag design with original artwork by Dani Mayes...
Our 2024 limited edition Wildflower bag design with original artwork by Dani Mayes.
Dani is a talented graphic designer and illustrator originally from West Wales, now based in Bristol & the South West. With over 15 years experience, Dani's creativity is grounded in simple, effective and honest design principles, specialising in branding, print & website design and illustration. We're lucky to have worked with Dani behind the scenes on our website and various projects over the past couple of years.
In Autumn 2022 we dedicated a large area of a field on our smallholding to native wildflowers by preparing the land and sowing 26 different seed species. This inspired our 2024 limited edition bag. We asked Dani if she'd like to design the new bag and she kindly agreed. We're so happy with the result!
2024 - YEAR OF THE WILDFLOWERS. This year we want to highlight the importance of native wildflowers and their habitats. This bag contains approximately 3Kg of crushed whelk shells.

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.
