A chance encounter around a neighbour's flat tire led to an order for unique handmade cards for a Japanese gallery. Caroline loved making the cards so much, and inspired by their popularity, she started working in her loft to create more and more cards to sell. Now inundated with orders, with husband Angus by her side, Caroline took the first steps to building a team from their new home. 25 years later, during which the company has successfully grown its product range, Caroline Gardner is focused on the fight against throwaway culture, collaborating with retailers on reusable tote bags, plastic-free greeting cards and always with classic and timeless designs.
