FAQs

All of our products come in packaging that has the planet in mind. It is all either recyclable, reusable, biodegradable….some of it is even compostable. We try to ship products with as little packaging as possible to ‘do our bit’ but enough so that your parcels arrive safely. If you would rather not have any excess packaging, for example, you’d like our typographic cards without a compostable sleeve, then please just pop this in ‘order comments’.

Our Latitude 50 Living paper good ranges are created and made in our studio in North Cornwall. Any of our Latitude 50 Living homewares such as our tea towels and aprons have been designed in house and are outsourced to make by other independent businesses in the UK.

You will also find lots of other goodies on our website from other lovely UK based businesses, you can see where their items are made in the product description. If it is not there, please just ask!

From the very outset, I knew I wanted my products to combine my respect for the natural world with a love of nature to create thoughtful and unique gifts.

With the above in mind, it has been important for me to source materials that are not only sustainable, planet-friendly and, where possible, locally sourced (or from other UK independents) but also products and materials that have a second use or purpose.

You can also find our Latitude 50 Living ranges in some shops/galleries and holiday businesses. To find out where, click on our wholesale page.

Tell me more about your canvases

The canvases are made in the UK by experts in the field. Images are printed onto heavyweight canvas (which produces superb results), the surface of the canvas is also laminated for the best protection. This means there is no cracking, the canvas is water-resistant, cleanable, scratchproof and protected from UV light for years and years. The frames are strong and robust but are also knot free which prevents any warping.

These again, are printed using a UK based company. They come unmounted and unframed as standard, enabling you to choose exactly what frame you’d like.

We believe that this not only gives you the freedom of choice but also makes it easy for you to find the correct size and style of frame required. It also cuts down on any wastage of materials that won’t be used….and you pay less postage too!

The paper used is Fuji Professional Crystal Archive Paper in lustre which, whilst providing vivid colours and a quality visual finish, also keeps glare and reflections to a minimum if you are planning on framing.

Smaller prints are packaged using a hard backboard and a compostable sleeve whilst larger prints may arrive in a tube.

Although the canvases have a high level of protection, we would suggest avoiding displaying prints or canvases in direct sunlight or damp conditions as this could cause damage. Do not hang directly over heat sources such as radiators.

Yes! We can create a shape of your choice to the exact number you need, making your wedding favours or party gifts truly bespoke to you!
