Artist Spotlight: Mary Makes

Thursday July 29th marked Earth Overshoot Day. In layperson’s terms, it marks the day when we have consumed as much as we are allowed to that year, with any further consumption taking away from the Earth’s resources for the following year.

To address this, we felt it best to spotlight our eco-conscious maker, Mary Makes. With their reusable, eco-friendly products reducing your waste and helping to move Earth Overshoot Day bit by bit. 

With their bright and kitsch fabrics, there’s no shortage of variety. So, no need to worry if there’ll be something in their range that matches your aesthetic, or that your best friend would love for their birthday, they have it all.

To make it a bit easier, we collated a few of our favourites, just to give you a glimpse into this wonderful collection.

Make Up Wipes

Taking your make up off is a task in itself. When you just want to climb into bed but don’t want the breakout that leaving it on will cause. So, treat yourself to products that are bright, beautiful and kind to your skin. And hopefully, what once was a chore will become a treat.

Reusable Wipes

Be if for baby, face, travel or cleaning, these wipes are versatile and a god send for those who, like us, rely on the practicality of wet wipes but hate the waste they cause.

Reusable Straws

Fed up of paper straws crumbling but still avidly against plastic straws? Welcome to the world of metal and bamboo straws. And with the cute reusable pouch they come in, you can carry them around with ease, knowing you’ll always have one to hand if needed.

Snack Pouch

Whilst Tupperware is a fabulous alternative to plastic food bags, the space an empty one takes up is often incredibly impractical. This is where the cotton reusable snack pouch comes in handy. With its food safe lining, you can carry around your snacks without the hassle of carrying a big tub once they’re eaten.

Eco Sponge

Bath/Body or Cleaning, this sponge is the perfect replacement to your plastic loofa, or your ugly yellow dishwashing sponge. Filled with natural kapok fibre and lasting approximately 6 months, it is a no brainer if you’re thinking of changing your sponges.
