Queen of Cascayde

 Hello and welcome back to my blog!

The worldwide disruption of COVID-19 has reinforced concerns about environmental impacts. As a society familiar with the current climate crisis not to mention a global pandemic, we must ensure that lessons are learnt changing our future for the better.

One quarantine queen and a close friend of mine, Carly McKinlay founded Cascayde. A business established with the aim of sourcing beautiful products, all of which have a positive impact in local communities and on our planet as a whole. With intent to source environmentally friendly materials, support entrepreneurs and small-scale organisations who provide jobs for women, Cascayde resembles exactly what this planet is in need of.

Cascayde’s range of socially conscious gifts, from partners with interesting designs and unique stories, are products I have fallen in love with over quarantine. As we can all relate to the complexities forced upon us by wearing masks, for example the unsociable atmosphere they create. Cascayde solved these issues by enhanced the experience of wearing face coverings through their beautiful and refreshing designs.

Alongside face coverings Cascayde sells a range of bags including coin bags, laptop & iPad bags, makeup bags, toiletry bags, pencil cases and travel accessories. All of which have been made by one of Cascayde’s partners located in Bail.

Cascayde’s commitment to reducing waste has been the focus and drive of their recent developments. Cascayde will be transitioning into a refill store with the aim of offering a combination of refill and zero plastic products across the health, beauty, home and lifestyle sectors. Cascayde plans to offer access to a wide range of high quality, affordable alternatives to commonly used products, making it easier for customer to reduce their plastic waste.

Products will range from shampoo bars to eco gift sets all wrapped beautifully in sustainable packaging. Cascayde is currently searching for the perfect retail space although be sure to keep an eye out for the launch of new branding and product lines in the next month!
