Hi! I'm Kayleigh, founder of The Rebel Makers Collective
The woman behind the madness!
Â
I'm loud, unhinged, have never fitted in with "the norm"covered in tattoos, swear far too much, drive a pink car and have an unhealthy obsession with anything pink. Basically, a gothic Disney princess with ADHD and no fucking filter. AT ALL!
Â
I'm also a small business owner, so I know exactly what it's like to pour your heart, soul, money and last remaining brain cell into something you've created, only to have someone ask if you'll take £3 for it.
Â
I started Rebel Makers because I was bored of the same old markets. I wanted something different. Somewhere the alternative, the unusual, the sweary, the wonderfully weird and the ridiculously talented could show off their creations without feeling like they had to tone themselves down.
Â
And I wanted people to actually get excited about shopping small.
Â
What started as a slightly bonkers idea has turned into a community of incredible independent businesses, artists and makers who deserve to be seen, supported and celebrated.
Â
I don't do boring. I don't do beige. And I definitely don't do normal.
Â
Welcome to Rebel Makers. It's a bit fucking weird but it's also cool as fuck!
Our Values
Bold
Be different. Stand out. Make the weird shit. Wear the outrageous outfit. Take the risk and do the thing everyone thinks you're mad for doing. Normal is overrated and boring as fuck.
Unfiltered
No fake smiles, corporate bollocks or pretending everything's sunshine and rainbows. I like my people real, my humour inappropriate and my creativity completely uncensored. What you see is what you fucking get.
Unapologetic
Too loud? Too weird? Too much? Fuck off. Nobody here is toning themselves down to make someone else comfortable. Be exactly who you are and don't apologise for a single bit of it.
Inclusive
Don't care what you look like, who you love, how you dress or how many tattoos you've got. If you're a decent human being, you're welcome here. No judgement, no bullshit, just be yourself
