About Us
Our Story
Tinker & Tangle began with a simple truth: the things we treasure most often aren’t the newest or the shiniest. They’re the toys that made us laugh as children, the books with dog-eared pages we read under the covers, the necklace passed down through generations, or even the coin that jingled in a grandparent’s pocket.
We started our journey rummaging through boxes hidden away in our loft — rescuing forgotten treasures and breathing new life into them. What began as a weekend hobby soon grew into a passion project: connecting preloved and vintage items with new owners who see their beauty, and curating new pieces that sit alongside them seamlessly.
Tinker & Tangle is more than a shop — it’s a place where memories are rediscovered, where preloved meets brand-new, and where every find tells a story.
