Cotswold Flora began in 2022 when Poppy started growing British flowers on her home farm to sell at markets, as well as making floral wreaths.
Not long after, her love of animals and flowers combined to create the floral form of taxidermy you see today. Her Botanical Stag Heads are works of art – each is unique due to the natural variations in the dried flowers used. Poppy uses dried moss collected from different parts of her farm on a rotational basis for the main body, a pinecone or acorn cup for the nose and teasels for the ears!
Having most of the materials sourced locally, or home grown, has created a product which is truly representative of the Cotswolds and sustainably made.
From a studio in South Devon, Just Seven designs and hand-creates headwear for every occasion and season. Their pieces are bespoke, unique and creative – perfect for people who like something extra special.
