About Under The Stairs

So, take one ex-midwife, desperate to get back to work now that the kids are all at school, but yearning to do something more creative with her hands. Supported by one small artist bubbling with bright ideas for her clients, but never quite finding the impetus to put her own art into action.

Stir in a little encouragement from family & friends, a refresher screen-printing course (thanks Clifton Workshop!), a few YouTube instructional sewing videos (turns out I’m a natural!)...and what have you got? BOOM! One hard-wearing, planet-caring, love-sharing range of linen tea towels, aprons, table runners, napkins, hob covers & cushions! We all love lovely things.

We love to make our house a home, and to express ourselves through and within our personal spaces. As humans we have the most wonderful capacity to create and, it follows, a desire to surround ourselves with some of those beautiful and clever creations. But, we believe this just simply can’t continue to be at the expense of our planet.

Earth-Conscious Products

We refer to the things we make as “earth-conscious”. For us, this means we take an environmentally-aware approach to our business, with the intention of reducing our ecological impact as much as we can. From materials & supply; to production, manufacture & waste; to the life of the product; shipping, packaging...the list goes on.

There’s much to consider, and to learn, and the landscape is changing for the better all the time. We’re certainly not perfect, but for now, we’re trying to be as earth-conscious as we can be, and we’re committed to being better. We're proud to say that our products contain not one iota of new plastic! We are doing everything we can to minimise our use of single-use plastics, and we're vigilant about re-using and recycling as much as possible.
