Kate Cole-Bowen turns gift-giving into art
Home-Industry founder Kate Cole-Bowen was profiled in Get It Magazine, sharing her inspiring journey of turning personal loss into a business built on meaningful gifting and community support. The article highlights her vision of creating beautiful, purposeful products that spread joy while uplifting local makers.
We also now have the capability to import products to supplement our range, but do prefer to support local where we can.
Home-Industry Featured on The Green Light Show
Home-Industry was recently featured on The Green Light Show with Sauma HD Radio, where founder Kate Cole-Bowen and business development manager Brenda Humphreys shared the story of the brand’s humble beginnings and steady growth. The discussion explored what makes Home-Industry unique — its ability to balance locally made and internationally sourced products, while curating collections with intention and care.
They also touched on the much-loved Kate Cotton Home Fragrance Range, with Brenda noting how even courier drivers look forward to collections because their cars are filled with the uplifting scents of the parcels. The interview offered listeners an authentic glimpse into the creativity, collaboration, and heartfelt values that drive Home-Industry forward.
Featured in The Mercury
Back in 2015, The Mercury profiled Home-Industry founder Kate Cole-Bowen, highlighting the brand’s early days and unique vision. The article showcased Kate’s passion for creating handcrafted, meaningful pieces — from personalised artisanal jewellery to colourful fabric necklaces made in collaboration with local women. Even then, Home-Industry was recognised for its focus on fewer, better things made with love, and its mission to support community makers while bringing beauty and purpose to everyday gifting.
