Our Makers

Cornwall Collective works with independent makers, studios, and small brands who create original products with a genuine connection to Cornwall.

Some of the people we work with make their products entirely by hand. Others work in small studios or use trusted production partners to bring their designs to life. What unites them is a shared focus on quality, originality, and thoughtful making.

A Curated Approach

Cornwall Collective is not an open marketplace.

Every maker and supplier featured here has been selected because their work aligns with our standards and values. We curate deliberately, choosing products that reflect Cornwall through place, people, process, or inspiration — not through surface branding alone.

This approach allows us to offer a considered range, rather than an endless catalogue.

Who Our Suppliers Are

We work with:

  • Independent makers and artisans

  • Small studios and workshops

  • Design-led brands and micro-brands

  • Small producers creating original or regionally specific goods

Some suppliers are based in Cornwall. Others may work elsewhere but have a clear, meaningful connection to the region through their designs or creative practice.

What We Look For

When selecting suppliers, we prioritise:

  • Original design and clear authorship

  • Small-scale or independent production

  • Quality materials and careful craftsmanship

  • A genuine connection to Cornwall

  • Products not widely available on mass marketplaces

We do not stock generic wholesale goods, dropshipped items, or mass-market products.

How It Works

Cornwall Collective acts as the retailer and customer point of contact.

That means:

  • Customers purchase directly from Cornwall Collective

  • We manage the shop, checkout, and customer support

  • Orders may be fulfilled by individual suppliers

  • Items from different suppliers may be dispatched separately

This model allows makers to focus on creating, while we focus on curation, presentation, and the overall customer experience.

Supplier Stories

Each supplier has their own dedicated collection, where you can explore their products and learn more about their work. From time to time, we also feature makers through short profiles or editorial pieces, offering a deeper look into their process and practice.

Our Principle

Cornwall Collective exists to bring together independent people making well-considered products with a real connection to Cornwall, curated carefully and sold responsibly.
