Trash Panda UK Louise Lea makes jewellery from waste plastic, industrial offcuts, pre-loved textiles & recycled precious metals.

Formed into unusual shapes, using striking colour combinations & materials you wouldn’t expect, each piece is a masterpiece of upcycling.

This is where I go to learn from the gurus of plastic recycling, Brothers Make, and it's so much fun! 🥎

Barbie clothes and bouncy castles that you can wear? That's exactly what these ginkgo leaf-shape earrings are made from!

I loved the unique pattern on this doll's dress and found the perfect blue inflatable from Inflatable Amnesty to compliment it. I only had enough material to make 2 pairs so these are seriously limited edition. Finished off with stainless steel hooks.

There's been a lot on my making bench this week, so lots of newness incoming...

"She's been at it again with those milk bottle lids, Janet."

It's OK, I feel no shame when I pick up your junk - especially when they turn out as fabulous as THIS.

I've noticed a few new followers stopping by so I thought I'd say hi! I’m Lou, the human behind Trash Panda.

I make pieces from things that weren’t meant to be beautiful anymore; offcuts, rejects, and random bits rescued from the brink of landfill. Basically, if it’s been overlooked, I’m already planning its glow-up.

This necklace? A little bit chaotic, a little bit ridiculous… but full of joy. Which is kind of the whole point of Trash Panda. It's made from pre-loved dinosaurs and beads from a broken necklace.

If you’re new here; welcome! Stick around for colourful, playful pieces and a lot of “wait… that used to be what?!”

Brooches are having a moment… and honestly, I'm here for it.

This little beauty is made from offcuts of leather, carefully shaped into petals and finished with a reclaimed button at the centre ♻️

No glue. No plastic. Raw edges that let the material shine. Proper, hands-on making and cute little details.

It gives “I found this in a tiny boutique and everyone asked me about it” energy.

Sustainable? Yes.
Statement piece? Also yes.
Mass-produced? Absolutely not.

Well well well… look who made a bracelet.

Made from reclaimed sofa leather (yes, actual furniture scraps), hand cut and linked into this chunky little chain moment. Soft, lightweight, and very into its mustard + charcoal era.

Proof that even offcuts can have main character energy.
