Our story
From an eco market stall to a boho boutique… seven years in the making.
Where it began. It started with a market stall, a passion for the planet, and a family who believed the things we bring into our homes should do no harm. In 2019 we launched Red Panda Trading, a small eco shop selling natural cleaning products, beeswax wraps and natural rubber wellies. We were based in Sherborne, Dorset, and every product we stocked was chosen with care for people and the environment.
Becoming Apricot Moon. In June 2024 we felt a new chapter calling. Our love of colour, texture and handcrafted beauty led us to become Apricot Moon, a curated boutique celebrating boho style and slow living. We shifted our focus to bags, accessories, incense, crystals and natural homewares, while holding on to everything that made Red Panda special: ethical sourcing, small-batch makers and a genuine love for what we sell.
Family-run, always. Every order is packed with care and every product is chosen by hand. When you get in touch, you’re talking to one of us, not a call centre. We think that matters, and we hope you do too.
