My products are designed for you. The creative you. If you want to live in a better, more creative and safer world than the one we have right now, let’s work together. All profits from my shop enable me to continue my charitable work in the community. Outside of my Etsy shop I lead a small, award-winning charity that works to remove the barriers that prevent parents from accepting their children because of how they were born. For information about this, please read the About section on my Etsy shop.
“Bona Parle” means “language” in Polari, a secret language spoken mainly by the LGBTQ+ community at a time when being gay was a criminal offence. At this time many individuals were persecuted or imprisoned because of how they were born.
Together, we can make the world a better place to live for all of us, not just those with privilege.
If you have any questions about any product, before or after purchase, please message me.
With love and kindest regards,
Matt
Creative Director,
Bona Parle

Are your products eco friendly and environmentally friendly?
We do our very best to source and produce high quality, eco friendly products that are kinder to our planet. Most of our products are hand made to order, meaning there will be no waste or landfill due to over produced products nobody purchases.
