Upcycling waste into
jewellery you’ll treasure

Shop the Trash Panda UK collection

Our products are made from waste plastic, industrial offcuts, pre-loved textiles and recycled precious metals. Formed into unusual shapes, using striking colour combinations and materials you wouldn’t expect, each piece is a masterpiece of upcycling.

From minimalist elegance to bold statement pieces, find the missing puzzle piece to make your outfit a bit more special.

Meet the maker

Hi, I’m Lou, the maker behind Trash Panda UK; a small-batch jewellery brand that turns discarded materials into something you’ll actually want to wear. From sofa leather to milk bottles, I reimagine waste into pieces with character, colour and conscience. Everything is crafted by hand in my Southsea studio.

See how other people’s trash becomes treasure.
