Supporting makers and giving back, one piece at a time
SPINDLE is a UK-based conscious homeware and lifestyle brand led by sisters, supporting artisans near and far who rely on traditional crafts for their livelihoods.
We work directly and through trusted NGOs with makers in India, Palestine, Morocco, Türkiye, Syria, and Uganda, including Palestinian and Syrian refugees based in Lebanon, co-creating pieces and/or placing orders for handmade pieces artisans have perfected over generations, made to be kind to the planet and safe for people.
This isn’t charity. It’s dignified, meaningful work that keeps tradition alive.
Every order supports fair wages, uplifts marginalised communities through our partnership with human rights organisation Restless Beings, and plants a tree for the future.
100% from the sale of this calendar will go to Hope and Play to support the children of Gaza.
Hope and Play's 2026 calendar features art made by children in Gaza in workshops designed to give them something more positive to think about than the destruction and genocide that surrounds them.
Made from vintage kantha quilts, 3–5 layers of cotton bound with the traditional running stitch, this roomy carryall turns storied textiles into everyday utility. Designed for market days, beach runs, and the daily shuffle: a deep front pocket for quick phone/keys access, an internal pocket for safekeeping, a simple tie closure, and a generous base. Wrap-around handles reinforce the structure for extra sturdiness, practical, lightweight, and one-of-a-kind.
Our Guiding Principles
Respect Cultural Identity
We honour the roots of every craft we share, from techniques and motifs to the stories stitched or carved into each piece. These traditions carry meaning, memory, and identity, and we’re proud to help keep them alive with care and integrity.
Ethical Labour & Fair wages
We work at a considered pace and in small batches to ensure makers receive consistent, fair pay. Everyone we work with is treated with dignity - no haggling, no shortcuts, just honest, respectful partnerships built to last.
Conscious Collaboration
We build real relationships, co-creating where possible and ensuring every collaboration uplifts, empowers, and protects the people behind the craft. We’re a business built on intention, where every decision is shaped by purpose. Our goal is to build something sustainable for everyone involved.
