Tahlia Paige, founder and Bink the dog

ABOUT US

Hey! I'm Tahlia, founder here at Tahlia Paige. I'm 25 years old, live in South Wales with my lovely assistant, Bink, and you'll usually find me either in front of the sewing machine or with my design tablet in my lap.

How We Got Started

I studied textiles in Uni in Cardiff, where I found surface pattern design, but before this I live really rurally, so naturally found a lot of inspiration in my natural surroundings.Animals and wildlife were seen regularly, and this was actually a reason for starting my business! I noticed I wasn't seeing woodland creatures much anymore, which got me interested in endangered species and what I could do to help.

During the lockdown, I put a trail camera out in my garden, built a little hedgehog house and started waiting. Months later, I finally got a visitor! He was a regular pretty much every night until the cold came, I used to watch him cronch his biscuits, trip over his food bowl and potter around at all hours. 

Take a look at one of our trail camera videos here.

He's actually the hedgehog you see trotting sideways in my hedgehog pattern!

I wanted to use my designs to raise awareness, and this is what I did when I built my product collection. Now, I also have a partnership with the PTES, supporting hedgehogstreet.org.I aim to provide gorgeous gifts to you, whether that be for gifting on or keeping for yourself, that are useful and pretty, which also raising awareness of the lovely species we feature, and perhaps you'll even find a way to keep these animals in your own garden!In the future, I'll be working on new products to go along with what you already have, new patterns with lovely species to learn about, and more partnerships, so a percentage of your payments will go to helping the species we feature.
