Pure Lakes have been creating 100% natural, handmade skincare in the Lake District for over 10 years. Our Buyer, Tracey, worked closely with them, choosing and blending all the ingredients to create this unique range, made just for us!

Our Buyer, Tracey, worked with our Butcher, Dave, sending sheepskins from our family farm in Cumbria to one of Britain’s few remaining traditional sheepskin tanneries which still employ traditional processing techniques to this day. The skins were then sent to Draper of Glastonbury, a fourth-generation family business making sheepskin footwear since 1937.
