A note from the founder

It started with a box for a friend. I wanted it to feel as special as the gift inside, so I made it myself, corner by corner.

Friends asked for more, then their friends, then the bakery around the corner. Today we make boxes for shops, companies and families, and every one still gets the same care as that first box.

Thank you for being here. I'd love to hear what you have in mind.

Our story so far

A few chapters, in order. Scroll to flip through them.

  1. The beginning

    A box for a friend

    The very first DS Box: made at the kitchen table for someone special.

  2. Word gets out

    Friends of friends

    Orders start arriving from friends, family and their friends. The kitchen table gets crowded.

  3. The first shops

    Bakeries and boutiques

    Local shops ask for boxes in their own colours. We learn food-safe papers, windows and inserts.

  4. Collections

    Our own designs

    Seasonal and signature collections: peacocks, wildflowers, leaf plaques and Christmas classics.
