From our base in the Cotswolds, UK, we supply over 150 independent retailers worldwide, as well household names in fashion and homeware including Burford Garden Company, Toast, John Lewis and Lush. Our main goal is to create access to market for the talented women we partner with, providing them with a sustainable income and the recognition they deserve, whilst preserving age-old traditional techniques.

"Inkster Games is an independent games maker based in Melbourne, Australia. Our aim is to create fun, easy to pick up games that bring people together over a few laughs (and sometimes drinks) . In 2014 we took a prototype of our first nsfw game – F**k. The Game – to a local festival to try it out. Everyone who played it loved it, so we decided to crowdfund its creation on Kickstarter – which we did successfully in 2015. In 2021 we successfully crowdfunded our latest party game – Blurgh. Blurgh is the evolution of six years of creative game making.
