Happy Monday y’all. It’s been a while since I’ve introduced some People To Watch but nestled in the south-east corner of England are husband and wife team Jeska and Dean Hearne who have created a collection of best in class products all with a story to tell under the name of The Future Kept.
Both come from a creative background and their eye for design and detail has led them to curate a selection of beautiful and useful items that are made with love by people with a passion for what they do, and a care for the future of the world we live in.
All items are designed and carefully sourced from independent designers, makers, artisans and entrepreneurs with timeless qualities inspiring a curiosity and desire within people to make more sustainable and ethical choices.
I fully endorse the fight against our throw-away society and especially during the lead up to Christmas – which often ends up in a shopping frenzy – a little thoughtfulness goes a long way. So to make your life easier I’ve selected some of my favourite goods from their site below. Frankly all their products are fantastic and for the time-poor amongst you Jeska and Dean have put together some clever gift choices for HIM and HER.
I especially love the Uashmama (pronounced wash mama) bags featured above. They look and feel like leather, but wash like a fabric and hold its form – the ultimate in promoting sustainability. The bags are designed and handcrafted in Tuscany by a company created by four sisters in homage to their Mother, who are passionate about designing nature friendly, stylish products that celebrate Tuscan tradition with innovation.
If you sign up to their mailing list you’ll even get a 10% discount – sign up and take a browse.
