Inland Sea began with a love of the coast.

I grew up chasing waves, learning to surf from a young age and spending countless weekends by the sea. Those early adventures sparked a lifelong connection to the coastline and eventually led our family to Anglesey - a place that has inspired almost everything we've created since.

What started as an appreciation for the sea slowly became a creative project.

During the Covid pandemic, I launched Inland Sea with a simple idea: to create products that celebrated the places we love while making them as responsibly as possible. Our first product was a seaweed T-shirt, manufactured in Manchester using British-made garments. We were incredibly proud to keep production local until the cotton mill we worked with sadly closed its doors in 2024.

Today, Inland Sea has evolved, but it's still very much a family business.

The detailed maps that have become our signature are hand illustrated by my mum, Joss. Every road, headland and landmark is carefully drawn before becoming the finished prints you see today. She also hand knits every one of our woollen beanies, meaning no two are ever exactly the same.

Creativity has always been part of who she is. Alongside Inland Sea, Joss has knitted hundreds of pairs of socks over the years to raise money for charity, a quiet act of generosity that reflects the values we try to build into everything we do.

For us, Inland Sea isn't about creating souvenirs.

It's about celebrating places that hold memories.

Whether it's the beach where you learnt to surf, the walk you take every weekend, or the coastline that always feels like home, we hope our maps and products help you keep a small piece of that connection with you.

Thank you for supporting our small family business.
