If you know me personally, you might already know I am not big into Christmas.It's not that I don't enjoy spending quality time with my family or cosy fairy-lights and evenings by the fire. It's the whole over-the-top consumerism it evokes that I seriously dislike. So many stood up against Black Friday, but are happily going Christmas shopping less than a week later. You only have to walk through a supermarket to see how much trash will be sold for one single day. Or should I say some of it even for a bare few seconds of that day (crackers are one of them, open, pop and straight into the bin it goes, wrapping paper, cards, ...). Don't get me...
Hi there! You might have noticed a little change on Seafoam's storefront since last week.I'm on a long overdue family break and will not be able to ship orders until August 24th. So the checkout options has been temporarily disabled to avoid confusion. A little more about why I have decided to 'close doors' for a few weeks: When not shipping your orders, I'm still full-time mama-ing my little water-loving monkey. Since well over a year I have been eagerly awaiting freedom to travel to family & friends based in mainland Europe (I'm Belgian, but based in Wales.). With my little boy now 18 months, meeting his family for the first time was high priority after crazy pandemic times. As you can...
Wow! Another year has come and gone and suddenly Seafoam is 5 already. I had envisioned our 5th summer slightly more eventful, celebratory and exciting, but we all know the culprit in this case. To keep up our dreams and hopes for future surf trips and most of all to thank you all for your massive support over the last 5 years, I'd like to treat you all to a special Birthday Sale. From now until the end of September you can enjoy 30% off full priced items. (discount automatically applied at checkout, *excludes bespoke orders & Olas) But that's not all, you can also take an extra 10% off all sales items, use code 'EXTRA10' at checkout. I hope...
The new Hibiscus Collection by Salt Gypsy is here! Salt Gypsy switched back to On-Demand manufacturing, which means for a few days each month they will open the gates for bespoke orders, make your ♻️surf garment/s to order in limited editions and then ship out 3-5 weeks later. Why? Great question! It’s actually how Danny kickstarted Salt Gypsy back in 2012 and is a shift that we’re seeing other brands talk about transparently and making a part of their core business structure. It's also part of the global #fashionrevolution that’s been gaining traction for the last several years.It’s a way to reduce the overproduction of inventory that ends up discounted (which is not conducive to a sustainable business) or in landfills/incinerators.On top of this, by ordering through...
Photo by Mims Radford Time for a little personal update... This photo sums up the feeling I've had over the last 9 months.Waiting for my turn to surf again. I'll be out of office for a few days, as I'm expecting to deliver our rainbow baby. 🌈If you have been following Seafoam over the years, you may know we lost our firstborn back in 2017. 🌟So after 9 months of staying on dry land, the excitement is like that of seeing perfect clean lines popping up on the horizon.While I will be taking some time out over the next week to soak it all in,order shipments might be delayed. For now, we are officially out of office between28th of January and 5th of February.While...
