Foxy Beginnings

FOXY BEGINNINGS keepsakes are the epitome of bespoke children’s products and every magnificent creation is lovingly handcrafted by our talented women artisans. Founded in 2019 by Mana Simpson and driven by a passion for style, sustainability and philanthropy, she conceptualised a brand which combined ethical employment practices, unique designs, earth friendly materials and high-quality craftswomenship with her driving desire to impact and improve gender equality.

Mana’s strong belief in the value of philanthropic efforts and an ideal to see a long-term and lifelong positive impact - rather than a short-term improvement - saw her build a business where she could hire and train women in developing countries to ethically handcraft beautiful, eco-friendly and sustainable children's toys. By hiring and up-skilling these ladies (our artisans) there is not only a positive impact on their current situation, but also the building of a foundation for their future and the future of their children and families.

We separate ourselves from other brands by ensuring that our heirloom quality children's toys are not only eco-friendly, but they are also made to last and designed to be passed down from generation to generation. Through tireless design development - alongside our gifted artisans - we are able to ensure that every single product meets the high standards that we set for our brand. We strive to remain transparent in our business practices and are passionate about compensating our artisans fairly.

We hope that the future of Foxy Beginnings will see our stylish and sustainable creations become a notable brand and that our philanthropic business model will bring more and more sustained employment and financial independence to our highly-skilled women artisans in marginalised and disadvantaged communities around the world.
