Hi I’m Grace- the Founder of Earthly Treasures.
My love for the planet, nature and sustainability started when I was a kid, totally mesmerised by David Attenborough documentaries. I remember sitting there learning about the beauty of our planet, feeling both in awe but simultaneously in shock about how much damage us humans were doing to it. That curiosity stuck with me and led me to study sustainability modules through my university degree, with a focus on how the fashion industry (one of the most polluting) could change for the better.
Fast forward a bit where I worked in the fashion industry, I saw first hand the immense waste created by mass production and unethical working conditions. Unsold stock often destroyed to protect brand image. This was a harsh reality that didn’t sit right with me. I didn’t feel good contributing to an industry that didn’t align with my values, so I decided to pivot.
I found my passion in the world of interiors, where I instantly connected with the slower, more thoughtful way of bespoke creations for clients. I worked with heritage makers and craftsmen, natural materials, and fabrics designed to last. I loved the idea that something beautiful for your home could also have meaning and purpose behind it. Pieces that were not only aesthetically pleasing, but that also met the client’s functional needs to last generations. I saw first hand how many of my clients wanted their home renovation projects to be more sustainable and wanted to purchase timeless, durable pieces that were better on the planet. Many were unsure where to go or what to trust.
That’s when Earthly Treasures was born. From listening to clients’ needs and my own frustrations in finding sustainable furnishings and homewares, I wanted to create a place where discovering sustainable homewares felt easy. I wanted it to be trustworthy without greenwashing or overwhelm and to help educate customers so they felt empowered with their choices.
Every piece we curate is carefully selected from ethical and sustainable brands- many of which are BCorp certified, artisan led and driven by values that put people and planet first.
It’s my mission to make sustainable shopping simple. Just pieces you’ll genuinely love that are built to last and will treasure for a lifetime, knowing that you are supporting people and planet.
So I ask that, if you must buy, please buy better and more consciously.
Thanks so much for being here,
Grace x
