Craft Meets Flavour: The Oakum & Eonce Chocolate pop-up in Leytonstone
At The Oakum, every piece we create is a journey—a story woven into the fabric, a tribute to sustainability, and an invitation to carry boldly and unapologetically. This November, we’re thrilled to take this journey further, collaborating with Eonce Chocolate for a special pop-up in Leytonstone from 14th to 17th November at @no1churchelane. This partnership is not just about our products; it’s about celebrating the artistry, passion, and commitment to quality that both of our brands hold close.
The story behind The Oakum and Eonce Chocolate
Our paths to this collaboration are rooted in shared values but forged through different mediums. At The Oakum, each bag is crafted from sustainably sourced materials, with designs inspired by my love for crochet, sewing, and the beauty of simple, functional elegance. I started my crafting journey as a personal escape and creative outlet, a path that led to The Oakum becoming a way for others to carry their essentials with purpose, style, and a nod to a more sustainable world.
Eonce Chocolate has its own unique story of dedication and transformation. Julia and Jose, the duo behind Eonce, were both born and raised in southern Spain, where they met at Culinary School in Seville. After years working in Spain and London, Julia followed her dream of creating her own brand of ethically sourced chocolate. With a focus on purity and simplicity, Eonce chocolates are crafted without additives, allowing the natural flavors of cacao to shine.
Craft and Flavour: a perfect pairing
This collaboration reflects a shared belief: that well-crafted products—whether a bag or a bar of chocolate—should be made thoughtfully, with respect for the materials, the process, and the people who enjoy them. The Oakum bags are created to make a statement, blending functionality and timeless design. Similarly, Eonce’s chocolate bars are an experience in themselves, offering delicious simplicity and ethically sourced quality.
By coming together for this pop-up, we invite you to taste, feel, and discover the essence of true craftsmanship. As you browse our handcrafted bags, you’ll have the chance to savor Eonce’s chocolate and explore the stories behind each brand.
What to Expect at the Pop-Up
The Oakum x Eonce Chocolate pop-up is more than a retail event—it’s a celebration of locally crafted goods and the values that make them special. From 14th to 17th November, all day at @no1churchelane in Leytonstone, we’ll be bringing our collections to life in a space that invites you to touch, taste, and experience the passion we pour into every piece.
Join us for this unique sensory experience, where you can explore the beauty of sustainably crafted bags and ethically sourced chocolates. Let’s connect over our love for simple, bold, and meaningful creations!
