Jewellery as unique as your personality.

Made from waste plastic, industrial offcuts, pre-loved textiles and recycled precious metals in a garden studio in Southsea.

Unusual shapes, striking colour combinations and materials you wouldn’t expect, each piece is a masterpiece of upcycling

From minimalist elegance to bold statement pieces, find the missing puzzle piece to make your outfit a bit more special.

Lou has been making jewellery for the last 4 years, having taught herself at her dining table with a starter kit of pliers and jewellery findings.

Her first store, The Mildred Trouble Shop, had the pleasure of 350+ Etsy orders, sold to hundreds of people face-to-face at local markets and is stocked in 3 outlets in Portsmouth.

Never content with sitting still and with a passion for sustainability, Lou’s constantly upskilling and finding new materials to work with. In 2023 she launched a Crowdfunder for a workshop and Trash Panda was born – a brand new jewellery collection using waste materials.

Whether it’s an eye catching pair of earrings or a quirky necklace, each piece is designed to make you smile.
