Atticus & Elbie: Giving Pre-Loved Textiles a Second Voyage

At our core, we believe fashion shouldn't cost the Earth. We breathe new life into pre-loved textiles, rescuing high-quality materials from ending up in landfill. By transforming discarded fabrics into functional pieces of art, we celebrate the history of every thread while protecting our planet. Discover our two flagship upcycling projects below.

'Pure Jeanius'

Turn denim waste into your next statement piece.

We rescue old jeans and denim clothing to create bespoke, one-off bags that fuse raw utility with modern style.

Edgy & Unique:

No two bags are identical, featuring distinct washes, pockets, and seams from their previous lives.

Premium Craftsmanship:

High-quality pieces fully lined with interior pockets and thoughtful, quirky detailing.

Built for Life:

Denim is born to endure, making these practical bags perfect for daily adventures.

Landfill Diverted:

Every purchase directly prevents durable textiles from going to waste.

'The Sailcloth Project'

Give ocean-tested materials a second voyage on land. Crafted under the label Atticus & Elbie, we transform retired yacht sails into exceptionally durable lifestyle gear. Each edgy, high-quality design retains the character of the wind and waves it once braved.

Supporting the RNLI:

10% of every sale from this collection is proudly donated to the RNLI to support the amazing work they do.

Bespoke Branding:

Every item features custom embroidery of your specific boat name or yacht club on the front.

Thoughtful Details:

Each unique piece is beautifully lined, fitted with functional pockets, and finished with quirky detailing.

Track the History:

Designed from distinct sections of a yacht sail, each piece shares its original nautical history so you can enjoy adding to its journey.

Our Sailcloth Collection & Pricing:

Laptop/Chart Paper Sleeves: £40 – Sleek, protective, and tailor-made for your tech or navigation charts.

Wash Bags: £40 – Compact and water-resistant, perfect for life on the water or land.

Weekender Bags: £75 - £100 – Rugged, spacious, and built for your next coastal getaway.

About the Brand & Designer:

Atticus & Elbie was founded by designer and artisan, Cari, driven by a commitment to heavy-duty sustainability and sharp, edgy design. Every product is drafted, cut, and constructed individually in the studio. By reimagining textiles that have already proven their durability, the brand bridges the gap between rugged utility and high-end, functional art. Choosing an upcycled piece directly cuts down on industrial waste while securing a truly original design built to last.

Donate Your Textiles and Help Us Divert Waste:

Don't let your high-quality fabrics go to waste. We are incredibly grateful for donations that help keep our sustainable mission moving forward.

Denim Donations:

We welcome any donations of good-quality denim. If you are local to the New Forest area, I am more than happy to come and collect them from you!

Retired Yacht Sails:

'Zip in' beautiful words...

We all love a gift...

At Atticus and Elbie we have designed a unique gift that goes beyond the current vogue.

In a world where kindness supports the wellbeing of those we love, consider gifting a bespoke wash or cosmetic bag, beautifully embroidered, with a zippered internal pocket within the lining, personalised with your own touching message that transforms it from a simple accessory into a treasured keepsake.

These bespoke bags are suitable for all ages and perfect to celebrate any occasion, or simply just as a special surprise for someone needing a lift!

"Just because... "opens the narrative to so many emotions... how would you write yours?

There’s something incredibly satisfying about a coordinated look that flows through your entire day. While each of our pieces is a standout on its own, pairing them creates a seamless, curated aesthetic, from the earbud pouch in your pocket to the weekender in your hand.

Investing in a set isn’t just about looking polished; it’s about treating yourself to a complete system of quirky, practical organisation. Whether you’re heading to the gym, the office, or a spontaneous getaway, a matching set ensures your style remains as unique and intentional as you are.
