Who we are

Verdesca has been born out of a passion to reduce waste, reuse the things we have, give things a new life, and avoid buying new. We love recycling, repurposing, reusing and re-homing items. Minimising waste and maximising style.

All products at Verdesca are new or refurbished all ready for their new home.

Our beautiful blankets are made from recycled cotton. Made from off-cut fabric from clothing manufacture, shredded and re-spun, then woven into these wonderful, soft and endurable blankets.

Our table runners are made from rescued fabric from homes, personal projects and local re-upholsterers. Designs are dependant upon the weight and size of the fabric pieces. All are handmade in our workshop in Northamptonshire, UK, made under our PrettyWittyNatty handmade fabrics brand. Our peg bags and door stops are also handmade under this brand.

Our candle & matches brand Phoenix Candles uses recycled glass. Glass pots are repurposed into candle jars, saving them from landfill. If the glass was recycled, the amount of energy needed to melt and recycle them would be huge. Simply repurposing the jars, giving them a new life, making them into something lovely, saves energy and minimises waste.

If you are keen to improve your sustainability, reduce your waste, but still treat yourself to something lovely for your home, or gifts for your family and friends, then Verdesca is the perfect store for you. And come back often, as our stock is constantly changing and revolving.

Our Story

Starting back in 2016, we began wanting to reuse fabric waste that still had some valuable life in it. Replaced curtains and fabric off cuts from the bargain bin were the source materials, making something beautiful and useful. Table runners, peg bags, bunting and door stops.

This has expanded to reuse glass and wood, with the idea of minimising energy, minimising waste and giving things a second lease of life. Over the years, candles in refilled jars, fireside match jars, recycled tissue gift wrap and hand printed Christmas gift wrap were added to the store.

Recycled cotton blankets were added in 2024, and slate plant markers were added in 2025. These, and newer products have now given birth to Verdesca, the newest home for sustainable homewares in the UK.
