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.
All steps involved in creating the final product are done by hand. Utilising skills of artisans involved, makes each piece, one of a kind.
From seed to stitch, products that can be traced down to the source of the raw materials, at every step in the supply chain.
Low or minimal use of power, hence reducing their carbon emissions. These brands have opted for slower yet more expensive greener methods of production.
