Bringing traditional craft into the 21st century, allowing you to know exactly where it comes from, who made it and how that impacts our planet.
Introducing

The Founders

Jessica Miles is the founder and current maker of Hobo Beautiful, it all started after years of travelling around europe in a van. Wanting to have a hobby to align with the simple nomadic life. As a sculptor by trade, working with her hands comes naturally, so when her mother handed her the Reader’s Digest introduction to macrame from the 80s it seemed perfect, after a few knots she never looked back.

Crafted in Kabalana, Sri Lanka
