the story behind
traceless designs
Hey there! I'm Maisie.
I am the proud owner, designer, and maker of Traceless, and I am so happy to welcome you into my world.
​
For the past 7 years, Traceless has been the center of my inspiration, hard work, and commitment. It has evolved and grown alongside me and all the amazing people who have helped lay the foundations for what it is today.
​
For the past 7 years, I have been building my dream, and I couldn’t be more thankful for this incredible adventure.
how it started...
I founded Traceless in 2017, out of my love for handmade creations and my passion for sustainability.
​
I deeply believe that the only traces we should leave behind are footprints, so I wanted to share my vision for an alternative, sustainable lifestyle with others.
I aimed to use my creativity as a way to do good, while making others feel like their happiest selves when they were using or wearing my products.
my love for the ocean
Despite growing up in the Yorkshire Dales, the contrasting landscape of the coast has always felt more like home. I spent my childhood summers visiting the Isles of Scilly with my family and continued to do so until 2017, when I decided to permanently move here.
​
My love for the ocean, the sun and nature has always been a source of great inspiration, and the center of the products I make. I've always hoped for Traceless to be a reminder of the feeling one gets from being close to the ocean, the happiness felt after watching a good sunset, and the memories made with loved ones in a safe place.
​
Following this deep passion for the sea, I have been fortunate enough to start traveling around the world, another major source of inspiration. Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Thailand, Australia, Sri Lanka, my travels have shaped the person I am today, and by extension, have had a big influence on my vision for Traceless Designs.
Today
Today, Traceless Designs is based at the Phoenix Craft Studio on St. Mary's, where we design and produce all our items with Armorel, who joined me in 2024, proof of how much Traceless has grown and continues to grow, thanks to the unwavering support I have received from my customers.
You are welcome to visit us at the studio to check out our products, or for a chat, if you ever find yourself on the Scillies.
​
Thank you for allowing me to live my dream.
see you soon,
​
Maisie.
