About Us

Our story

Rusty & Co. was born when I was on maternity leave. I originally set up a small business called PippasCreation after my daughter, Pippa. I mainly crafted wooden keepsakes that were personalised with names/birth details and painted them with colour of choice. It started off as a hobby to keep me busy while I was off work, but grew very quickly and all of a sudden my “hobby” had me working around nap times, snack times, and until the early hours of the morning for months on end and I absolutely loved every second of it. 

It was during this time that I fell in love with both designing pieces for children’s nurseries and then discovering all the beautiful treasures out there by amazing brands. I became very passionate about finding new toys for Pippa that would inspire her to play through creativity and exploration to help develop her imagination.  Both Pippa and I loved all my findings so much It was then that I decided to expand PippasCreation and to focus more on offering toys, interiors and apparel. 

The name Rusty & Co. comes from my own favourite toy when I was a child. It was a brown teddy called Rusty. I loved and cherished him so much and brought him EVERYWHERE I went. Although he was a very simple little teddy bear, he brought so much joy and magic to my life. 

Now that I have become a mother to my little girl, I get to relive that magic of childhood. She, the littlest love of my life, who reminds me how important it is to slow down and treasure the moments that can so easily rush by.
