Things we’re ghosting this October 👻
And no, we’re not talking about the things that go bump in the night
More the little things we’ve all become far too used to. Buying things that don’t last, keeping the nice stuff for special occasions and feeling like we have to choose between something that looks beautiful and something that actually does its job
I’ve always thought, why can’t we have both?
It’s something that’s been really important to us as we’ve grown Storeys & Tails. Making things that look lovely is one thing, but knowing they’re going to be worn on muddy walks, dragged through the sea, taken to the pub and still be loved years down the line? That’s the bit I really love
We’re a small team here in Devon, making things by hand, choosing materials we genuinely love working with and putting a lot of thought into the little details that you might not even notice at first
And we’re certainly not perfect, but we’re always trying to make things that are worth keeping, looking after and repairing rather than replacing
I suppose what I’m trying to say is that I’d love to see more of us enjoying the things we buy, supporting the people who make them and not feeling the need to save everything lovely for a special occasion
Because life’s too short to save your best collar for Sunday
Now tell us, what’s one thing you’re ghosting this October? 🎃
