Sustainability Note:

Each Hot & Boring bag is made slowly and carefully from second-hand and vintage textiles, many of which are donated, locally sourced, or salvaged from clothing destined for landfill. All fabrics are washed before being used.

I design, cut, and sew everything myself using an industrial sewing machine at home, balancing this work around a full-time job as an art teacher. It’s a way to use my creative skills beyond the classroom – building something thoughtful, useful, and sustainable.

Every piece is constructed in small batches or as a one-off, depending on what fabric is available. The result is always practical, slightly imperfect, and one of a kind. Orders are packed with minimal waste and sent within the UK.

This is a hands-on, time-heavy process – but it means each bag has its own story, shaped by materials, method, and the slowness it deserves.
