// SKIN INVIGORATION

land&water

Inspired by years of enjoying this ‘active relaxation’ lifestyle at her family’s Watergate Bay Hotel, land&water founder Pix Ashworth set about capturing its essence – to, literally, bottle it. Created in collaboration with leading apothecarist and perfumer Richard Howard, the land&water range reflects this distinctive blend of invigoration and calm using natural essential oils and actives to evoke the therapeutic benefits of time in the elements.

// Blankets

Atlantic Blankets

Atlantic Blankets began in 2007 in north Cornwall; born out of the need to find the cosiest and softest blanket to comfort a child. Today the company, run by family team Gemma and Al, is located in the coastal village of Perranporth, where we design beautiful blankets that help create happy memories.

Finisterre

Born over a decade ago from the needs of hardy British surfers, Finisterre designs functional and sustainable product for those that share a love of the sea. It started in 2003 in a flat above a surf shop with an innovative fleece that was designed to keep out chill winds and warm up cold bodies. Since these early days, driven by those who have jumped on board, supported by our customers and suppliers, the brand and product has widened beyond these original beginnings.

// Cornish Rum

Cape Cornwall Rum Company

In 1925, Harvey’s great great grandfather was surprised to discover bottles of alcohol mysteriously built into the walls of his farm cottage. Legend has it that to avoid high government taxes, rum and other goods were often smuggled into Cape Cornwall by boat and stored in a farm building known as “the Wink”. We now use that very same building to lovingly age, mix, spice and bottle our specialist rums. Jack Shannon & Harvey Thomas - Co-Founders of the Cape Cornwall Rum Company

I love the vibrant White Rum, made by blending a Caribbean rum base with Cornish water; and the spiced rum for a spiced Mojito;)

Seasalt

The Seasalt company began in 1981, which means we're 40 this year. All those years ago, on a wet August day, the Chadwick family went into a little shop in Adelaide Street, Penzance, called General Clothing Stores. They only went in to buy some waterproof coats, but ended up buying the shop as well! The shop sold traditional workwear, like fishermen's smocks, Guernsey pullovers and stripey tops, and within a few months they had moved down from the Midlands and were living in St Ives.

My collection of sailor tops and scarves from Seasalt grows every year…
