We met while studying at the University of Brighton, and set up Sukie after Darrell graduated with an MA in Illustration from the Royal College of Art. At his graduation show Darrell made some ‘Rescued Paper Notebooks’ from unwanted papers collected during his course. We thought he might sell a few of the books at the show, but when Habitat placed an order for 24,000 we seized the opportunity, and set about making the books and building a business! We use traditional bookbinding and printing techniques, such as letterpress, linocut and silk screen. Some items are made in house, and some in India, where we have worked with the same family business for over 20 years! We continue to add more items to our range, but recycling and sustainability remains at the heart of what we do, and we aim to bring that to our products in a unique and unexpected way.
