Calico Collective is centred around creating consciously crafted, small batch homeware and jewellery. Much of our inspiration comes from natural colours and textures, resulting in an artisan product range filled with earthy tones and organic shapes – the perfect way to bring a sense of serenity to your home.

Our story began early in 2020 when we were exploring new materials to work with and stumbled across jesmonite – a fully recyclable, environmentally conscious alternative to resin. We found a joy in experimenting with the best ways to create homeware using this material, and through trial and error, began to find our signature style.
The past four and a half years have seen us develop our core collection of products, showcasing everything from plant pots to greeting cards, earrings to hand made lino prints and a brand new range of ceramics too! Our focus now lies with our homeware collections, but you can still shop a range of jewellery and prints online and from some of our stockists too.
Calico Collective was born out of a love of luxury artisan homeware, as well as a desire to work with environmentally conscious materials and processes. Each small batch of homeware products is mixed and poured by hand, meaning every single product we make is completely unique.
Much of our work takes inspiration from the natural world – with collections named Earth, Flora, Grove, Amble and, our newest range launching this summer, Drift.
Everything is handmade by founder, designer & maker Charlotte, in our Manchester based studio space. Not only are our products a wonderful addition to any home – or outfit – but they are functional and built to last.
Here at Calico Collective, we’re passionate about supporting fellow small, independent businesses. Alongside our own product collections, you can shop ‘The Collective’ range, which consists of a selection of hand crafted products consciously curated to compliment our own offering. Think home decor, statement jewellery, stationery, accessories, fragrance and more.
The goal when starting Calico Collective was to create a brand focused around consciously crafted, small batch homeware and jewellery – with the aim of creating something for every budget. Accessibility is incredibly important to us, and so finding a way to create products that can be suitable for any budget felt like a good place to start.
Alongside running Calico Collective, Charlotte has previously worked as a freelance Theatre Facilitator with a specialism in design – It was through this work that Charlotte found a passion for showing the importance of the creative arts as a career, and has influenced much of the thinking and ethos behind Calico Collective.
