Penny & Thread is more than just a craft brand, it's a colourful destination for creativity, connection, and personalised keepsakes.

Founded by a British-Filipina mum based in Essex, Penny & Thread was inspired by her daughter, Penny, and a love of creating meaningful, joy-filled moments. The brand creates handmade accessories and offers interactive DIY craft experiences that bring people together. From personalised bag charms, keyrings, and gifts to our signature mobile Charm Bar and souvenir station, every creation is designed to celebrate individuality and make lasting memories.

Beyond crafting, our founder is also the author of a children's book celebrating Filipino heritage and helping little ones embrace their cultural identity with pride. Creativity and storytelling are at the heart of everything we do, whether through handmade keepsakes or meaningful experiences.

Whether we're popping up at local markets, hosting workshops, or adding a creative touch to birthdays, weddings, corporate events, and private celebrations, our mission is simple: to create fun, meaningful experiences that people of all ages can enjoy.

Every piece is handmade with care, and every event is filled with colour, creativity, and a personal touch. Whether you're shopping for a thoughtful gift, booking an unforgettable activity, or simply looking for a little everyday joy, you'll always find a warm welcome at Penny & Thread.
