Located in a quaint loft in the lovely Topsham, Sails & Canvas make beautiful products made out of recycled sails and marine canvas. Think roomy beach bags and shoppers, finished with coastal-inspired rope handles, cushions, baskets and bottle bags ideal for your next beachside walks. All the sails are washed but keep their original markings – telling a story of adventures gone by – and other details are sourced locally. It’s the ultimate re-using project and childhood friends Juliette and Mandi, who always dreamt of starting a business together, are passionate about it.

Family-owned Otter Vale, based near Cullompton, are local in every sense. Hand producing chutneys, preserves, savoury jellies, piccalilli and more, they source their ingredients and packaging from the nearby areas. Their Devon Chutney has been famous for over 40 years and their award-winning recipes are renowned. The perfect gift for every food lover, make sure you buy some for yourself too.
