Our story

Welcome to Dottiebobsuk, handmade with love in Preston. Discover how a mother's craft journey grew into a collection of gentle hair scrunchies, pretty makeup bags, and thoughtful everyday accessories.

Where the name begins

Dottiebobsuk is named after my two biggest inspirations: my first daughter Mabel Dorothy, who gave us 'Dottie', and my second born Lilybobs, who brought the 'bobs'. Growing up surrounded by crafts, starting a creative small business was always in my heart. When I suffered from postpartum hair loss after having Lilybobs, in 2024 I started sewing gentle, snag-free hair scrunchies to care for my hair. From that simple idea born in our family home, Dottiebobsuk came to life. 

Selected with care, made with love

Finding the right fabrics is an adventure I cherish. I travel around to hunt down materials of the highest quality, sourcing our premium satins from the very same independent shop since the day I began. For our cotton ranges, makeup bags, and pouches, I choose designs that I adore and genuinely want to use myself. Nothing is ever made just for the sake of making; each accessory is cut and stitched thoughtfully.

"You can tell this has been made with love."
