Co-founder @Bert & Buoy

Devon, GB

Bert & Buoy are the purveyors of Nautical Niceness. Making waves as a new, original and modern coastal living brand. Co-founded by myself and Bert Fowler - a British artist and designer. Bert’s scope of work spans screen prints, murals, ceramics, glass, fabrics and sculptures. His signature style of bold line work focuses on landscapes, still-life and sea-life explorations, inspired by life on the Devon coast. There\'s more besides the seaside, when you see it through Bert\'s eyes. This is joyful, colourful, coastal living. Bert & Buoy collaborates with British makers to create ethical, sustainable, and well-made things. a truly unique combination of colour, illustration and pattern, that you won\'t find anywhere else. We started with a pop-up at Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta, before establishing our first high street gallery come store in dreamy Dartmouth (2018) and then opening our second in Salcombe (2021). Follow our journey here and on instagram.com/bertandbuoy/. We\'re a family business and proudly independent. Show love, shop small business. now, more than ever.
