Uneeka's Blog

Here at Uneeka we pride ourselves on choosing quality products and building relationships with suppliers we trust and support.

Their core values being exceptional quality and beautiful design, they used reclaimed materials whenever possible to create quality furniture pieces. Last week, a small group of our wonderful Uneeka team came together...

For years, Uneeka have been taking part in Fair Trade Fortnight. From helping Truro gain temporary Fair Trade status in 2006 and helping to spread awareness; to collaborating with University College Falmouth redesign the reusable shopping bags in 2008; to taking part in Truro's Big Swap in 2010, this year is no different!  Since the beginning of the Uneeka brand in 2004, the sourcing of products has always been an incredibly important part of the business.

Here at Uneeka we've had a busy Christmas period and we're ready to have a good old cleanse just like everybody else at this time of the year.

Our range of Plant Based card holders and bags in a variety of styles age like leather but we can assure you...

This month here at Uneeka we are celebrating all the wonderful charities that we support.

They represent a group of artists who live with complex neuro-diverse and physical support needs, working alongside instructors they create artworks which are then developed and designed into products for sale.
