We are a young person’s design company based in Bearwood, made up of 5 young women: Amelia, Jenni, Leya, Sarah and Teagan. We worked across a series of workshops led by artists, makers and designers who are based in Bearwood and the city: Amerah Saleh, Sarah Taylor Silverwood, Keith Dodds, Janet Gray, Nina Baille. Working across graphics, textiles, design, photography and team building, we collaborated on a product which was not only representative of our own interests and values but also explores how the design company can serve a social need.During a making workshop, we tested sewing different product designs. We then decided that we wanted to handmake a multi-purpose storage pouch, with one of the uses being to discretely store sanitary wear. Alongside the multi-purpose storage pouch, we also designed and created handmade hand warmers, using the leftover material from the pouches and rice. Alongside these, we wanted to offer something that felt appropriate for Christmas, so we also produced gift wrapping paper – just in time to wrap all those gifts!All proceeds of the products will be donated to two charities: Birmingham’s Centre for Women ANAWIM, which supports women and their children throughout Birmingham to move their lives forward and reach their full potential, and international charity Days for Girls, a global movement that prepares and distributes sustainable menstrual health solutions to girls who would otherwise miss school during their monthly periods.
