About Us

Manes & Tails was created in Sheffield in November 2021. I learnt to use a sewing machine in school, and after getting my own machine as a birthday present in June 2020 from my late granny, I needed short sewing projects that I could fit around my busy full time job as a horse riding coach. I also found inspiration from online sewing creators such as Madebytaylahrose, and soon I started this Etsy shop as a fun project for my spare time.

Since November 2021 we have grown beyond any of my expectations and I am loving every single moment of this journey. To date, we have sold over 20,000 scrunchies, received almost 2,500 5* reviews and have expanded our product range to include hair bows and stickers. I've learnt far more than I ever anticipated I would need to about running an online business.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Manes & Tails throughout it's journey so far and thanks to those who will go on to support it in it's future. Here's to what the future holds!

Hello!

I'm Tinky, the owner of Manes & Tails and the creator of each scrunchies and handmade item. When I'm not working on your wonderful orders, you'll find me with my horse Joey, or spending time with my boyfriend Harry.

Our life beyond scrunchies...

Joey used to play a heavy role in Manes & Tails...

When Manes & Tails first started, I used to take orders to the local postbox on horseback. Fortunately for Joey, I now take them down without needing horsepower. In my spare time, I like to take Joey for days out with his friends and spend quality time with my favourite four-legged friend.

Holidays consist of exploring the UK...

We like to explore the UK, but particularly old castles and houses. My favourite is Bolsover Castle in Derbyshire, as it is the birthplace of modern dressage (an equestrian sport). This photo is from a recent trip to Belsay Hall & Castle.
