Feather & Twigs is a marketplace for bringing 'Artisan brands into local hands' showcasing inspirational designs, unique homewares and gifts that are stylishly crafted. A brand that promotes the maker over the manufacturer and is a nest that sources individuality, high quality and exceptional talent throughout, which you'll see through our carefully sourced eco products being the heart of what we aim to do, to inspire you and your home.
Dopper’s mission is to achieve a world in which people are conscious of the environment we live in, where the amount of single-use plastic is reduced and where everyone, near and far, has access to safe drinking water.
WHY THEY DO IT?
Their biggest motivation is the massive amount of plastic waste that is currently produced:
Worldwide, only 1% of plastic is recycled.50% of plastic is thrown away directly after use. Each day, freight-loads of plastic reach our oceans - often unintentionally - via streets, canals, rivers and seas. The five largest ocean areas where this plastic waste converges, can contain up to 36 times more plastic than plankton. The plastic enters our food chain in small particles via marine life and birds.Annually, the plastic in the oceans causes the death of 1 million seabirds and 100.000 marine mammals. And last but not least: it requires 1 litre of water and 1 litre of oil to produce a single plastic bottle.

We are super super proud and absolutely thrilled to be shortlisted for the 2019/20 regional finalist at this years Rural Business Awards - North.
Not one but two awards wow.... best start up and best rural retail business, just absolutely fantastic to even to have reached the finals against some amazing rural businesses.
Too early for fizz (sort of) but what a year so far and long may that continue. All the hard work from the Feather & Twigs team, Artisans and supportive community is starting to pay off, exciting times ahead.
We have a passion for handcraft designs and craftmanship, we launched ‘Feather & Twigs’ to focus on working as a family (including our ever escaping labrador 'Lucca') to explore our passion for high quality handmade homewares and gifts. As keen travellers internationally and within the UK, we love to meet and work closely with all our skilled artisans, which has allowed us to be able to call these makers, friends and have already been amazed by the skill, care and effort that has gone into their creations.
