Our Ethos

Playful Professionals

We're not saving lives but we are here to create a unique Born and Bred experience with everyone that interacts with us.

We do this by exuding warmth and friendliness but thus is backed up with dependable delivery, knowledge staff and the best creative talent Ireland has to offer.

Sustainable Growth

When we talk about sustainability, we don't just mean being planet positive. We want to grow our business and our brand in a way that works for us, our suppliers and our customers.

We want Born and Bred to grow as one team which means we're here for a long time and can tackle any challenges thrown at us along the way. We know our business will change over the years but we're ready and adaptable for when that time comes.

Better Together

We want our customers, staff and artists to become united in their desire for better gifts. To come together and have a shared experience of hat it means to be from this little island.

This business is built on community and will continue to have this as our heart beat no matter what size or scale we achieve.

Designed in Belfast

Tired of the endless scroll through generic, mass-produced products on those 'bargain' websites, we decided to take matters into our own hands. We craved something unique, something with a soul – something ours.

Linzi, the creative force, dreamt up whimsical designs, fueled by an endless supply of caffeine and cardboard. Leanne, the design whiz, turned those dreams into reality, navigating the treacherous waters of production with a blend of grit and grace.

From the first wobbly cardboard prototype to the final, polished product, we were every step of the way. This isn't just a product; it's the culmination of our passion, our perseverance, and our unwavering belief in creating something truly special..

Our Packaging
We're all about sustainability! That's why we craft eco-friendly packaging in-house using our trusty cardboard shredder, affectionately named Siobhan. Every piece of cardboard that comes through our doors gets a new life as protective packaging for your order, ensuring it arrives safe and sound while minimising our environmental impact.
Made In House

We're a hands-on bunch, so we take pride in creating every aspect of our products in-house. From carefully spraying each incense cone with our unique blends to counting every matchstick and handcrafting each box, we pour our hearts into every step of the process.

We even conduct rigorous quality control checks to ensure that only the finest products reach your doorstep.
