About us
At Hadley we create fun, artistic products to bring a little joy to your everyday.
Design and creativity drives us at Hadley HQ and makes us extremely happy! That happiness shines through in our products.
All Hadley designs start life as an original artwork: a collage, drawing or print. We work hard to make sure everything we make feels right and intentional, . We love to add unexpected little details to our products; a fun collaged element or bonus illustration.
We manufacture our products thoughtfully in as eco-friendly a way as possible. We print all our paper products in the UK on high quality recycled and eco-friendly boards. We are just starting to cautiously manufacture outside the UK in as eco friendly a way as possible, shipping them plastic free and carbon offset.
Our products are processed, picked and packed by the hardworking team at our UK warehouse.
Our team
Jo, Director
I run Hadley and make illustrations from my attic studio (affectionately called the Hamsters Nest). I come from a long line of artists and have been drawing, painting and creating for as long as I can remember.
Before I started Hadley, I was an antique dealer in London. The shapes, colours and textures of the pieces I sourced were a constant source of inspiration for my artwork and I loved learning the history of design and manufacture by handling things directly. I started to build up a range of things I had made to sell on my stall until finally I decided it was time to stop selling beautiful things that other people had made, and start selling just the beautiful things that I had made!
I have a lot of fun in the studio. Sometimes designs are hand-painted or printed from a block, pieces might be snipped out of old books or magazines. I’m a proper antique nerd still, even though it’s not my career any more, you’ll find little bits of historical ephemera woven through all Hadley designs.
