About Us

Hi, I'm Kate - the hands behind Lovely Subli. What started as Memory Metal, a one-woman photo plaque business, has grown into a little Dorset-based workshop making gifts and keepsakes for everyday moments and the big occasions in between: mugs, tumblers, plaques, prints, notebooks, coasters, plushies, and more.

I make everything myself, and I care about getting it right. That means no cutting corners, no mass-produced shortcuts - just properly made pieces with a bit of personality (and, let's be honest, the odd skeleton-in-a-hoodie design or "Adulthood: One Star Review" mug thrown in for good measure). Whether you're after a heartfelt memorial keepsake, a gift for the bookworm or pet-lover in your life, or something that'll make someone laugh out loud, I want it to feel like it was made just for them - because it was.

Thanks for stopping by and supporting a small UK business. If you don't see exactly what you're after, just ask - chances are I can make it happen.
