Some of the most special things happen when small businesses choose collaboration over competition.

When Aubrey's Leads invited fellow makers to collaborate, Crafted at Pipit had only just begun. Our Instagram was still tiny, our little online shop had only just opened, and every order still felt like a celebration.

I took a chance and reached out.

To my delight, Rhiannon chose Crafted at Pipit, and what followed was everything a collaboration should be. Ideas were shared, colour samples travelled between us, messages of excitement filled our inboxes, and together we created something neither of us could have made alone.

After exploring several colour concepts together, Lilac quickly became our favourite. Soft, timeless and inspired by the British countryside, it felt like the perfect way to bring both brands together. Aubrey's Leads then handcrafted a coordinating paracord collar, designed exclusively to complement the snood.

The result is a collection that celebrates thoughtful craftsmanship, natural materials and the joy of two small businesses creating something special together.

We hope you love the Lilac Collection as much as we've loved bringing it to life.
