Knotsy Brighton has been lovingly created by founder Chantelle. It is her vision to create a brand that offers handmade, simple and timeless products. The concepts of ethically and locally sourced materials are important to her, and she has tried to uphold these values within the brand.

Chantelle's parents were both creative and she spent many of her weekends as a child travelling with them to London, where they sold crafts in Covent Garden's famous apple market. Handmade hessian baskets, pipe cleaner teddy bears and clown mobiles, her parent’s creativity inspired Chantelle to later establish Knotsy Brighton.
