From Playtime to Purpose

The tale of Mouse Sails begins in the 1980s with Floss’s parents, who crafted sails for windsurfers before expanding into cruising and racing yacht sails. For Floss, the loft was her playground. Sunny days were spent hunting for sea treasures, while rainy days meant cozying up in the loft, creating mini-masterpieces from leftover sailcloth. Talk about a childhood well spent!

Taking the Helm

When her dad retired, Floss swapped her hospitality gigs for the loft, taking the helm of the family business. Now, she juggles repairing sails with crafting bespoke canvas projects, but her heart truly sings when she's upcycling. Each repurposed sail is a victory for sustainability and a nod to its seafaring past.
