My Story

Welcome everyone to Caitilin's, a place where the beauty of nature's colours and shapes come together on fabric to create lovely accessories for you and your home.

I thought I would share with you all a little bit about me and my products. I am Caitilin, mum of four children and this business all started as a homemade, handmade venture. It began from some simple aprons I made my children, which in turn received a lot of praise, inspiring me to further my love of sewing.

 
 

I have a passion for beautiful fabrics and putting the contrasting designs together. I became inspired to create and am constantly expanding my range.

All of my products are carefully made and designed myself, by hand using either stong cotton or quality cotton backed oilcloth. The dynamic properties of the oilcloth I use in a lot of my products means it is durable and easily wipeable to keep clean. 

All my items are unique and designed and handmade from a small studio in my home in Cornwall, by the sea. The high quality, hardwearing material will withstand being washed over and over again!

Inspired by nature and the constantly changing environment, I use predominantly florals, spots, stripes and maritime fabrics giving my range a contemporary, bright and fresh feel.

Proud member of the Made in Cornwall Scheme

After a year of making, sourcing materials and creating my lovely handmade products I decided to become a part of the The Made in Cornwall Scheme. This is an approved origin scheme where all members have been certified by experienced Trading Standards Officers, providing customers with the assurance that the products are genuinely made in Cornwall, using components sourced from Cornwall where possible, and that the product meets all relevant UK and EU Regulations.

Buying from a Made in Cornwall member benefits the Cornish economy by keeping revenue within the County, helping us to support our local communities.

I am proud to be a member of the Made in Cornwall Scheme because working hard from my home in Cornwall and trying to source as many raw materials as I can locally is something I am proud of, especially in this commercial world of mass production and online shopping where people don’t always think about how the products are made or where they come from.

I pride myself in having a no waste policy, all packaging is made from recycled card and is recyclable. All fabrics are sourced from the within the UK. Any smaller scraps of fabric are used to make purses, or re-usable facial wipes.

At Caitilin's, I believe in the power of sustainable living and supporting local artisans. My handcrafted products are made with a commitment to sustainable practices, ensuring that each item is not only beautiful, carefully made but also environmentally friendly. By choosing my handmade goods, you are not just buying a product - you are buying into a mindful ethos that values the well-being of our planet and our communities.

Thank you for embracing this handmade, sustainable, small business.
