A quirky Yorkshire lass, born & raised in England. "I spent my early years climbing trees, dreaming of overseas travel and watching wildlife doccos! I’ve always felt a part of nature and have learned throughout my life, that our connection to one another & being a part of our communities is really what being alive is all about. Another love of mine is travel, which combines my two absolute favourite things; people & planet.
I moved to Melbourne 7 years ago with my husband and two kids Mylo & Otis. Being able to visit the ocean any time I need to, is a privilege that I’ll never take for granted. The ocean is my happy place. I can’t count how many hours I’ve walked and run stretches of the coast from Port Philip to Mordialloc! Always returning home fulfilled and at peace."
Every action we take has a consequence.
Whether that be choosing reusable coffee cups, or buying from more eco friendly companies, each of our actions counts. The trick is to find the balance of being able to purchase some of the things that bring us joy, without harming the world we live on.
Making responsible retail the easy choice
All too often, the best choice for our planet and communities is the hard choice. Eco friendly items can be tricky to find, they can be unaffordable, and they’re often, a bit naff!
Enter SUSSD! Bringing you the beautiful, fun, creative & innovative products dreamed up by our local designers and makers & produced with little environmental impact.
When we order from the mammoth online retailers, we line the pockets of the already obscenely rich.
When we purchase from our own communities, 80% of that money goes directly back into our communities, enabling local growth & helping our communities bloom! This in turn helps create diversity in businesses and jobs, encouraging those who want to, to open their own businesses and get really creative!
SUSSD was born, to bring you awesome, locally designed and made cool-as-hell gift items that have a hugely positive impact on the communities we live in.
Our aim is to bring our community together and to support small & local businesses grow. We're here to treat our planet more gently, with the respect our home needs.
We're here to bring eco consciousness to the mainstream, to become the expected rather than the exception. We're here to drive change.
We want a SUSSD store in various cool towns across Victoria. Each store a little different from the next. Each shop supporting it's community in a meaningful way. A community based chain with a big heart & none of the big-chain brutality. Think T2 staff meets Lush ethos with the inspirational actions of Patagonia. Getting there step by step!
