About

Our story goes back to October 2017 when we met for the first time in a Spanish gathering in Liverpool City Center and that night we became inseparable best friends 🌿

Our journeys have come together and separated a few times as Manu travelled for a while with his partner around the UK and Spain with their van, and Anaïs changed careers, fell in love and became a mother.

Until the pandemic hit and we decided it was time to put our crafts together and create Sakte, a place that honours the slow life movement and where we are able to share our crafty creations.

Welcome to our little dream 🪴
