Bombus

Our company was founded in 2003 by Amelia. She studied textiles and weave at The Royal College of Art and then spent several years working in the commercial textiles industry. She was keen for a more organic approach though, something more handmade and personal. Stumbling across a box of old maps at a flea market she was drawn to the patterns, textures and colours, not dissimilar to fabric that she was more used to working with. Paper became her new passion. The concept of our signature product, the bespoke map heart still forms the basis of the majority of our products.

You choose the map location from anywhere in the world, which we cut from an original vintage map, so your gift will be as unique as the person it's for. Pretty much everything we make is hand-made to order especially for you in our converted Oast house studio in rural Kent. We use quality materials, local suppliers and old-fashioned, low-impact production techniques of decoupage - cutting and sticking as it's also known!
