This one is for the bespoke jewellery lovers out there...⁠ ⁠ We are so happy to have @laurabennettjewellery on board as our newest edition to the Inka fam. Laura is the woman behind the brand, based @hotwallsstudio in Old Portsmouth. All her jewellery is made by hand using her inspiration of nature & the sea which reflects beautifully in the small collection we are stocking at Inka.⁠ ⁠ During lockdown, alongside creating amazing commission pieces Laura made rainbow shaped necklaces & earrings for family & loved ones. They were so sought after by customers she continues to make them now & has thoughtfully named the collection 'After The Storm' & we are lucky enough to have them in stock, alongside some other gorgeous earrings.⁠ ⁠ We love Laura's style, each piece is so distinctive & thoughtfully crafted! Our founder Harriet is a huge fan and we think you'll love her too.⁠ ⁠ Welcome to The Inka Affinity Laura 🧡⁠ ⁠ #madeinuk #sustainablebrands #ethicallymade #sustainablelife #creativemakers #womenmakers #slowliving #inkauk #consciousconsumer #femaleled #makersuk #southsea

Happy Monday! Doesn't it feel like the days blur into one during lockdown?!

Whoever doesn't feel smug when they find a new sustainable brand is lying to themselves and when we found @badgerandbirch we were brimming with smugness! 💃🏻⁠ ⁠ Hazel is the woman behind this amazing homeware and gift brand that focuses on artisan design using natural & sustainable materials. She makes everything by hand meaning each piece is unique which we love. The resin that Hazel uses to create the products is an eco resin that is solvent, toxin free and renewable. 🍃⁠ ⁠ A lot of the products you see on our website are made using crushed Cornish mussel shells from restaurants local to Hazel which otherwise would have been thrown away. What a thoughtful way to add incredible style to a product? We think you'll agree when you see the range of products on our website.⁠ ⁠ Welcome to The Inka Affinity Hazel 🧡⁠ ⁠ #madeinuk #sustainablebrands #ethicallymade #naturalproducts #femalebusinessowner #smallbusinessuk #creativemakers #consciousconsumer #femaleled #makersuk #southsea

We couldn't agree more 💃🧡 #justsaying

Hey everyone - Harriet here! What a miserable weekend it is?! ⁠ ⁠ I wanted to write a post to all of you as we are just under two weeks old & I have been reflecting on my biggest realisation so far... I am creative! 💃🏻⁠ ⁠ I always thought being creative meant being able to write, draw or paint and because my strengths were not in any of those things I've never considered that I am actually creative. Wow - how I underestimated myself.⁠ ⁠ Friends have pointed out ways I've been creative throughout this process and it's crazy because until they pointed them out I didn't know I was even creating! ⁠ ⁠ You probably know I'm a fan of a quote so this Friday I received my weekly email from a friend @lordlucy (#saynotoshitsalads), she always includes a banging quote and this week really spoke to me:⁠ ⁠ "You can't use up creativity - the more you use it the more you have"⁠ ⁠ It's absolutely correct - once you start on a journey, one that really fills you with love and passion, everything you think of to make it better is showing your creativity, however small. ⁠ ⁠ So, if there is one thing to takeaway from this post it is to not doubt yourself and definitely don't let your weaknesses hold you back, they could become your biggest strength!💪🏻⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #whoruntheworld #madeinuk #sustainablebrands #ethicallymade #sustainablelife #naturalproducts #femalebusinessowner #smallbusinessuk #creativemakers #womenmakers #fuckfastfashion #slowliving #theinkaaffinity #inkauk #consciousconsumer #femaleled #makersuk

This winter when you purchase a gift voucher with us you will be supporting @saints.two and those who are most in need during the cold months. ⁠ ⁠ Two Saints are a charity who support people that are homeless, vulnerable or at risk of becoming homeless and need a helping hand getting back on their feet. They have 3 services in Portsmouth that we will be supporting.⁠ ⁠ 10% of the money made from sales of Inka gift vouchers in November, December and January will be going to the charity. Two Saints will be able to use all proceeds raised by us to put towards purchasing utilities, furnishings and essential items for their clients when they get to their new homes.⁠ ⁠ Winter nights are long and the Christmas period can be a lonely one when you are estranged from friends and family so we are really pleased to be supporting the work that Two Saints do.⁠ ⁠ We will keep you updated on the funds raised. If you're struggling for choice on what to buy for a loved one this is the perfect solution now for more than one reason.⁠ ⁠ #whoruntheworld #madeinuk #sustainablebrands #ethicallymade #sustainablelife #naturalproducts #femalebusinessowner #smallbusinessuk #creativemakers #womenmakers #fuckfastfashion #slowliving #theinkaaffinity #inkauk #consciousconsumer #femaleled #makersuk #southsea #portsmouth

Earrings with dancing llamas on right up your straza?⁠ ⁠ We knew it, that's why when we caught sight of @sophiestokesdesigner we had to have them onboard! Molly is the woman behind the brand, she creates these quirky earring designs using recycled plastic that has had many lives before. 🍃⁠ ⁠ Molly started the brand in her final year at university and is an award winning Fine Artist & Designer, and to be honest we would expect no less. She believes that fashion and art are ways that we show our individualism and how we speak to the world. 💃🏻⁠ ⁠ We are delighted that Molly takes her #inspo from making jewellery for women who want to stand out, change the world and help the people within it. It's what we are all about here let's be honest.⁠ ⁠ Welcome to The Inka Affinity Molly 🧡⁠ ⁠ #whoruntheworld #madeinuk #sustainablebrands #ethicallymade #sustainablelife #naturalproducts #femalebusinessowner #smallbusinessuk #creativemakers #womenmakers #fuckfastfashion #slowliving #theinkaaffinity #inkauk #consciousconsumer #femaleled #makersuk #earringsuk
