Jacob Marks Pine Resin
Jacob Marks has developed a craft around pine resin, a natural substance extracted from tree bark. Across a range of functional and decorative objects, he highlights the material's translucency and tone, shaping it into sculptural forms with rich, organic textures.
A functional handle for drawers or doors, crafted by New Maker Jacob Marks. Individually hand-cast from pine resin, a natural substance sourced from Portuguese pine, fir and cedar trees. Jute fibres and charcoal are mixed in to create a deep tone and tactile finish.
Jacob's inventive use of pine resin is expressed through a distinctive range of decorative vessels and home accessories. Based in London, he is motivated by the material's renewable and biodegradable properties.

Cotton Care Guide
Cotton is a versatile, comfortable and breathable fabric and is easy to look after. At TOAST, we love cotton for its ability to take dye and retain bright colours and intricate prints.
Obtained from the fibres surrounding the soft seed pods of the cotton plant, cotton is a natural and biodegradable fibre that has been used since antiquity. The fibres are cleaned and spun into threads before being made into a variety of fabrics, from denim and corduroy to poplin and twills.
How to wash
Cotton can be washed at 30 degrees in the machine with similar colours. Try to wash your cotton less frequently to maintain the shape, colour, and quality of your garment.
How to dry & store
Reshape your garment whilst damp by holding the side seams together and shaking. Cotton is best dried flat or hanging to prevent the need for ironing. If an item requires ironing, then it is best to do so whilst slightly damp or using the steam setting.
Hang your cotton clothes away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
