Stop by to find out about what we've been up to and what we are interested in. From new products to old favourites and interesting concepts to fun competitions there's always something going on. If you have any ideas you think might inspire one of the team to put pen to paper we'd love to hear from you!
Hi, this is just a note to say thank you for your wonderful response to our new recycled silk range.
We knew that the Hugs were popular from our markets last year but are delighted that you like the Button Hole Wraps too and want to reassure that we'll be making more tomorrow! As they are a new product we started out modestly but you won't have to hold your breath for long...we'll have more on line very soon.
This time last year we were racking our brains, trying to write a little ditty for Mother's Day (and failing dismally) when genius struck...let's ask our lovely customers we thought! So we launched a competition and had lots of fab rhymes sent to us. The winner, Maxine, penned the ode above which fitted perfectly on our wrap & we were delighted...
Whether you bolster your wardrobe each season by scouring charity shops or heading for the newest trends on the high street it's always a lovely feeling to slip into something 'new' as we watch the seasons change. This season, for the first time, we're busy putting together a special collection for Spring... however, I'm concerned about the frequency with which we are encouraged to 'update' our wardrobe.
Hello & welcome to our first blog of 2015 - hope the year has started well for you!
I've been thinking a bit about the 'new' in New Year and how it relates to what we do. We have been really delighted by the reception our website has received and there are hundreds and hundreds of you out there now in 'new' recycled cashmere goodies keeping those chills at bay...
We have been lucky enough to have had loads of support over the last 5 years & much of it has been from locals in our gorgeous county of Shropshire.
We decided this year to support some local concerts, partly for the fun of it and partly to join in more with the events in our local area. We sponsored two fantastic concerts in the autumn and have another coming up... we'd love it if any of you who are local enough could come along and enjoy it with us.
Snow was forecast last week and we were delighted at the timing...this meant that we could launch our new 'Paloma' cashmere range in seasonal style in our own beautiful Shropshire hills. Perhaps Rosie, Adam & I were a bit ambitious lugging the (rather heavy) borrowed skis up Nescliffe Hill in the sunshine... If you peer really closely into the distance you can see snow...honestly....
Well, busy times here at Turtle Doves Headquarters and we are delighted that so many of you are visiting us - a big hello everyone!
It's been a funny week all round with lots of press about shopping days with silly names and we'd be interested to know what you think about it. We spend lots of time at markets and events, surrounded by the sort of products & produce you don't easily find online and below is something from us which kind of sums up our thoughts.
As the weather finally started to get chilly we turned our thoughts to finding new Turtle Doves friends to add to our little community of eco-cashmere-holics.
We love supporting British & local so embarked on a mission to use the talent around us to try to reach as many people as possible this month. The amazingly energetic Rosie, who has heaps of journalistic experience, joined the team & we set to...
As I sit writing this I am very aware that although we have officially been in Autumn for some time this morning feels like the first properly chilly day we’ve had.
Luckily I’m not cold as I’m in the middle of a huge ‘cutting’ marathon and am surrounded by (and enveloped in) heaps of pre-loved cashmere.
Hi everyone, it's been a while since I've been in touch and what a busy spring we've had!
We've moved into a fabulous studio and are using the space we've gained to get creative.
It is a very common circulatory condition that affects over 10 million people in the UK, with 9 out of 10 sufferers being female.
Graham & I had a fantastic time celebrating all things recycling at the National Recycling Awards, held at the London Hilton Hotel, Park Lane, last week.
