The Handmade Christmas Co., the trading name of 36&5 Limited, was founded in 2012 by creative duo, Tom Coleman & Louis Porter, to design a premium alternative to the traditional Christmas stocking. Following two years of development, the company publicly launched in 2014. We are now looking to take a loan to aid our growth plans.

Gifts with a personal touch

In 2015, its ‘Great British Heritage‘ collection expanded to include eight additional designs, each named after distinguished Englishmen from the Elizabethan period. 2016 saw the launch of several new designs, continuing with the same theme of traditional yet contemporary styles, as well as a partnership with John Lewis & Debenhams, which saw our products stocked in every store and personalisation popups in John Lewis Oxford Street and Peter Jones Sloane Square.

Individually handmade from the finest woven hessian and securely stitched with matching natural thread originating from the jute plant, each sack is then lovingly hand finished in our London based studio. With the collection consisting of both personalised and non-personalised Christmas sacks, The Handmade Christmas Co. strive to provide the perfect accompaniment to any family Christmas, young or old.

We create both personalised and non-personalised Christmas sacks and stockings with charming tartan trims. To make our services all encompassing, we also create luxury wrapping paper, greeting cards and beautiful handmade tree decorations.

Since launching in 2014 we have sold circa 250,000 of our personalised Christmas sacks - mainly within the UK, USA, and Australia.

The funds will be used to fund our expansion plans, which includes new products, expanding our High Street exposure and aiding with moving to our new larger premises in Summer 2017.
