Aerende is an innovative lifestyle brand selling stylish homewares and gifts, hand-made in the UK by people facing barriers to employment. We commission and co-design timeless, environmentally sensitive products from social enterprises and charities around the UK, providing a reliable and compassionate revenue stream that facilitates therapeutic craft, while showing consumers that shopping thoughtfully for homes and gifts doesn't have to mean compromising on service or style. Since launch in 2016, we have won a number of awards and have launched various offshoots from our direct-to-consumer online model. These include bespoke orders for hospitality clients, wedding lists and, since late 2019, a small range of products available to wholesale. In 2020 we hope to add corporate gifting to this rosta and would love to partner with businesses who want to offer genuinely desirable, meaningful gifts to their staff. Our base is in Hertfordshire but we represent makers from across the UK and are proud to be part of the growing Made in Britain movement.
