Nalu Beads at the Billabong Girls Day - Woolacombe, Devon - July 2009 - July 2009

It may have been ripping up a storm outside but we got cosy and crafty in the marquee with 150 girls who were all participating in the Billabong Girls day event.

The girls each got the chance to knot their very own Nalu bead bracelet, necklace or key ring, and we even threw in a free bead!

JUST THE BEAD - As featured in SurfGirl magazine (April edition) - 22nd April 2009

A couple of ocean loving art students Lisa Adams and Kerry Mansfield had been talking about working on a collaborative project for years. Then Kerry taught herself to make glass beads and Nalu Beads was formed. SurfGirl asked Lisa about their venture.

What was the inspiration for Nalu Beads?
Where we live is our inspiration....we are based in Croyde, North Devon, so surfing and the stunning coastline is not surprisingly a big influence. We share a love of the sea, although Kerry would rather paint it and I would rather be in it!

What was your aim?
We could see real potential in creating a credible piece of surf lifestyle jewellery. We wanted to offer an alternative to the mass produced, often unethically sourced jewellery sometimes found in seaside retail outlets.

Tell us a bit more about the beads?
Our first collection, the Break Bead collection, was based on the local breaks on the North Devon coastline. Now theres the Retro Bettys, The Islands and the Sticks, so you can choose your favourite break, board and heroine or your favourite colours and yes, they can be worn in the sea!

THE NEW NALUBEADS BOX - 26th March 2009

We are insisting on sustainable packaging as we want to have the least possible impact on the globe SO we have got together with some nice people from Atlas Packaging who are helping us to develop a box that is made from a material that is 100% recyclable, compostable and bio-degradable, it also has a minimum of 70% recycled content AND we're supporting a local company in doing so... thinking global, supporting local... its our favourite mantra right now! Lets all try it.
