Maria Allen Ltd

Maria Allen Boutique is a British brand, handcrafting contemporary jewellery and gifts using reclaimed and sustainably sourced wood. Each piece is designed and made in their studio with many personalised and custom designs available.

Their products have been featured in magazines including Stylist, The Times Magazine and Country Living. The range is sold online and is stocked in shops, museums and galleries in the UK and internationally. They have also worked with The British Museum, The National Trust and Kew Gardens to create exclusive designs for their gift shops. Their Personalised Love Letter Necklace won Notonthehighstreet.com’s ‘Personalised Product of the Year’ and has since appeared on several of their national TV adverts. The company’s most recent work has been with Harrods, with a range of exclusive Christmas decoration designs created for them for Christmas 2015.

Maria started the business in 2008 while she was studying Graphic Design at Brighton University and has been running it full time since she graduated in 2011. It started in her parents’ kitchen and has since moved premises twice and is currently based in a studio in Hove. The business has grown rapidly over the last few years and there is now a team of 5. The products initially started as jewellery but the range has since expanded to include accessories and homeware.
