about me
Hi I’m Belle, the founder of Naked Beans. I’ve just recently moved back to a little village in the heart of Somerset, England.
In a period of time when the world produces overwhelming amounts of waste, I created Naked Beans with the intention to offer an alternat. I work to transform old treasures into something something new and unique.
Below is link for you to join my little growing community to get updates on exciting news and offers. Slowly, I will begin to share more about foraging, sharing tips and recipes too.
Naked Beans is my passion project, a quiet rebellion against the chaos of fast fashion. It was born from a love of nature, creativity and a desire to return to a slower, more intentional way of living.
I’ve always felt more at peace in nature - which I suppose, is normal, as we are human after all. I enjoy creating with the flow of the seasons, drawing inspiration from the colours, textures and elements of each to feed my creativity and shape my designs.
One of my core values in life is to reuse and repurpose wherever possible - whether that be in the clothes I wear, the food I eat or the art I make. This value has become a pillar for Naked Beans too. The other is: reconnection - to our Earth as well as one another.
Each piece I make reflects these values. My jewellery is crafted using recycled sterling silver or brass, combined with upcycled beads from disused jewellery or treasures found while foraging on the forest floor. My crochet handwarmers are made with recycled acrylic yarn — soft, cosy, and consciously created.
In the future, my hope is to begin switching from arcylic to natural wool, which I will spin and dye using plants & materials foraged throughout each season. Each hue will therefore become a relfection of nature’s palette in its time of year - a tangible expression of time and place.
