The Brixham Collection by Brixham Sewing Box | Anchor & Thimble
A town told through colour.

Every handcrafted cotton reel in The Brixham Collection tells a story. Created by Sandy Richards, owner of Brixham Sewing Box and founder of Anchor & Thimble, each reel has been lovingly inspired by the places, landmarks and treasured memories of her beloved hometown of Brixham, South Devon.

From childhood adventures and family walks to iconic coastal views and local traditions, every colour has been carefully chosen and named to reflect the spirit of this unique fishing town. For those who know Brixham, these names will feel instantly familiar. For those discovering it for the first time, they offer a glimpse into the charm, character and rich history that make this corner of Devon so special.

Echoing sewing heritage, the wooden‑spool design features bright yellow thread and a vintage circular label which reads: Fisherman’s Yellow, Brixham Sea Gulls, High Grade Cotton, 100 Yards (91 Metres). Locally made and handcrafted in Brixham, while playful vintage labels and subtle surface grain and colour variations make each piece uniquely charming. Each shade is named after a beloved Brixham location or notable figure, adding a layer of local heritage to its charm.

PLEASE NOTE: These cotton reel storage boxes are for pre-order only, as it typically takes 5-7 working days for us to create them.
