Aku
Holly is a pattern-maker and sewing machinist and spent many years working in the fashion and film industries. She began supplying friends and family with the cloth pads, as more and more people wanted to stop using throwaway products. She wanted to make a pad that was not only way better for your health and the health of the planet, but user-friendly, comfortable, and easy to care for.
Based out of Leigh, all pads are fully machine washable, and dryable, and each one will last over 5 years, and replace over 120 disposable products.

Karen is on a journey to reduce waste, leave a smaller footprint, and live a more minimal life. She loves making things – cooking, fermenting, knitting, crochet, pottery, skincare products, household cleaners, and soap. It’s part of her journey to be kinder to herself and the environment by using fewer chemicals and natural products that produce little to no waste going to landfill. Karen uses everything she sells and loves it all.
All the products used to create the products are sourced from nature. Clays, spices, botanicals, herbs, seaweed, superfoods, coffee, butter, oils, essential oils, and more. Hand created with love and care to nourish skin and care for the largest organ. Without the use of artificial colors, synthetic fragrances, and damaging chemicals. Palm oil-free, as while this provides hardness in soap, it’s destroying the wildlife environment and displacing villagers.
Handmade by Karen is a zero-waste, eco-friendly, and sustainable mindset business. Packaging for soaps sold online is with paper and cardboard, no plastic. Everything is made by hand, with love, in small batches or to order.
Her business also recently featured in the NZ Herald.
