Hello, everyone!
We are finally back in business and kicking off with a new product that will organize your refrigerator. We call it the Organizer, and it is available in nine different designs.
My name is Maria Melin, and I am proud to introduce myself as the new owner of Gotland Originals!
My journey here began just over a year ago when I challenged my husband Frederic to stop using plastic wrap—a step towards a more environmentally friendly life.
Since then, we haven't bought a single roll of plastic wrap, and it inspired me to want to contribute to a greener future in a meaningful way.
Shortly after, we heard about a company on Gotland that was for sale...
I traveled to Gotland and met Sebastian and Leo, two young and driven entrepreneurs behind Gotland Originals.
I quickly realized that this was something for me. I have long dreamed of starting my own business again—something genuine, environmentally friendly, and with my heart in the right place, where I am involved in the production from start to finish.
This became even more apparent when I found out I was going to be a grandmother for the first time and started thinking about how I could make our planet a little better.
It has been an intense journey moving the business from Gotland to my home in Värmland. Thank you to everyone who has been in touch during this time and wondered where we had gone!
Sebastian and Leo have been incredibly helpful throughout the process, and without their help it would not have been possible.
Of course, I want to keep one foot in Gotland, so some of the manufacturing will remain there.
Now we are opening up again, and I look forward to continuing to create sustainable, functional, and beautiful products in the spirit of Leo and Sebastian.
I will also be putting my own stamp on our new beeswax wraps with specific patterns for different foods – bread, cheese, vegetables, and more.
This makes it much easier to see what you have in your beeswax wraps, something I have felt a great need for since I started using them.
There are nine different patterns in total.
Not only are they practical, they are also super cute and make kitchen life a little more fun!
Thank you for being a part of Gotland Originals so far.
I look forward to and hope you will join me on the journey ahead.
