As you prepare to step into university life — new lectures, new friends, new routines — the Off to Uni collection is your perfect companion: thoughtfully designed, eco-friendly accessories that combine style, functionality, and sustainability to make your transition smoother, more personal, and more responsible.
Why Off to Uni is just right for starting university
Starting university is more than just moving to a new place; it’s about building your own space, finding small moments of comfort, and surrounding yourself with things that reflect who you are. The pieces in this collection are chosen with that in mind:
-
Practicality meets style: Whether it’s a cork noticeboard to pin up your timetable, postcards or memories from home, or printed cork coasters to protect your desk while you study, each item is useful and beautiful.
-
Compact & versatile: Dorms, shared flats, halls of residence — space is limited. Our trays, notebooks, key fobs, magnet sets, and mugs are designed to be just the right size, easy to pack, easy to move, and easy to make part of your new daily flow.
-
Built for durability & low-maintenance: With materials like cork and ceramics, plus handcrafted details, these are items that stand up to everyday use. They’re easy to clean, robust, and long-lasting — so you can focus on your studies, not replacing worn-out gear.
Sustainability at the heart of the collection
Choosing Off to Uni means choosing something that looks good and does good. Sustainability is woven through every part of this line:
-
Eco materials: Key elements like natural cork are renewable and biodegradable, offering a lighter environmental footprint. Ceramic pieces are crafted to last.
-
Minimising waste: Many items are produced with low-impact practices — recycled or responsibly sourced materials, minimal packaging, and designs made to age well.
-
Ethical and conscious design: Small details like cork noticeboards, reusable trays, notebooks with refillable pages, and accessories that are multi-purpose mean fewer one-time products and fewer replacements.
Making Off to Uni feel like home
Moving away for university can feel overwhelming, but it’s also an opportunity: to define your style, make small choices that matter, and build an environment that supports your well-being and studies. A few tips:
-
Choose a colour theme (neutrals, bold accent, soft pastels) and pick pieces that match or complement it so your room feels coherent.
-
Mix functionality with comfort — a well-designed mug + coaster = more enjoyable coffee breaks; a noticeboard + motivational quotes = a calmer mindset.
-
Think ahead: small storage trays help avoid clutter; refillable notebooks save money and reduce waste; durable items last across terms.
- Plan your space using a toll such as Pinterest.
What makes Off to Uni different
-
Ethical sourcing & craftsmanship: Many products are handcrafted or produced in conditions that value people and planet.
-
Eco packaging & shipping: Where possible, minimal, recyclable packaging is used — plus free shipping over £45, making it easier to make sustainable choices without extra cost.
-
Bundles & savings: Some of the bundles in this collection give better value, letting you get multiple essentials in one go. Also, gift sets or “buy more, save more” deals help stretch student budgets.
Your first year at university is full of milestones — first lecture, first flatmate, first library all-nighter. But it’s also full of small moments — making your space yours, finding routines that feel right, relaxing in your room with a cup of tea, studying with something you love around you. The Off to Uni collection is designed to be part of those moments: items that are useful, beautiful, sustainable, and made to last.
So go ahead — pick the pieces that speak to you, set up your uni space in a way that reflects your values, and start the journey feeling supported, inspired, and ready.
