Swirls Collection
Bio Do you remember being a little girl, and how perfectly beautiful you felt when a butterfly landed on your hair? It’s amazing how such simple little things can boost your selfconfidence. Selkie Crafts are designed to boost self-confidence and help women express their unique style with beautifully crafted, stunning accessories. Selkie Crafts are the butterflies women choose to wear with confidence & integrity. Unlike many mass produced accessories, these are ethically crafted products. Selkie Crafts is an environmentally aware business and by working with me you are also supporting a local business and community. Based in Argyll, on the west coast of Scotland, I am a one woman business. So you can be reassured you will be in contact with someone who knows the business. I am a self-taught designer-maker and value practical, comfortable, fit for purpose designs that are stunning to look at. The ‘Selkie Crafts’ name and logo celebrate my Scottish roots and Selkie lifestyle. I am a keen SCUBA diver and have an MSci in Ecology; so the sea, nature and the wildness of Scotland’s west coast are strong influences of my work. I work with a mixture of aluminium and copper wire with Swarovski Crystals and pearls. All my pieces are hand crafted using traditional methods and tools such as pliers, a wire-jig, and my bare hands. As a relatively young business Selkie Crafts is proud to already have been awarded two LUX Awards, and been printed in the pages of Brides Magazine. This is my first Wedding collection. I hope you like it!

Ethical & Eco Selkie Crafts is proud to be a responsible business that continually strives to work in an ethical and environmentally responsible way. Here are a few of the things we do to make the world a better place:
We are transitioning to only using Swarovski crystals over other crystal manufacturers. Swarovski have one of the best ethical and environmental credentials of the industry. Since I make my products by hand, all the labour that goes into the manufacture of your purchase is ethical. We have created specially designed packaging that we make inhouse using recycled card where possible. These boxes are made to be as reusable and recyclable as possible. Our flyers and business cards are printed on recycled paper and use vegetable inks. I am a qualified Ecologist and still work to improve environmental management and research. We regularly participate in charitable causes and donate a portion of our profits to help do good in the world. I work from my home studio to reduce my CO2 footprint. o This has also allowed me to adopt a rescue dog with behavioural problems and give him a loving home. o I also have a wildlife friendly garden. I volunteer in the community: o I am a supervisor with the Duke of Edinburgh Award, encouraging young people to enjoy the outdoors. o I have started volunteering with the Coastguard, assisting in a variety of calls for assistance. o I am a SCUBA instructor with BSAC sharing my knowledge & skills, I do not get paid for this. I love to share my enthusiasm for the underwater world.
There are many small things we do and we are constantly looking for ways to improve but here are a few things we do. By working with us you are supporting me to make the world a better place.
