Our Story
We were born from rubbish. No, seriously! Three wind breaks discarded next to some bins on a St Ives beach started this colourful and sustainable journey at the end of August 2020.
We’ll probably remember 2020 as one of the strangest and most challenging years many of us have lived through. For me the time spent in solitude, close to home, reinforced the importance of finding ways to live more simply and sustainably - yet launching a sustainable brand wasn’t on my radar at all.
With England’s lockdown lifted in July, Cornwall saw an influx of visitors unlike any summer we’ve had before. The reality of more people meant more waste which brings me seamlessly on to those three wind breaks discarded by the bins. Who knows why ideas strike when they do - what started as frustration at three bulky plastic items being left to waste soon gave way to an idea. And so, as I walked home with three unwanted wind breaks slung over my shoulder, Oh Give Me A Break was born.
