Founder Story
Founded in Cardiff during Mollie’s maternity leave in 2022, Naetive was born from a simple yet powerful observation: mugs we're just not special enough. After having a baby Mollie realised how sentimental pockets of time really we're and felt that the 10 minutes you have with your mug should feel just as special. Mollie identified a unique opportunity to create mugs worth sharing —beautiful, meaningful, and memorable pieces that stand out in a crowded online world. Fully customisable mugs with loved ones handwriting, 3d model pets, quotes, affirmations or a unique marketing to elevate your brand.
With a deep passion for community, connection and art, Mollie started making custom handmade mugs when her son was 10 weeks old. After months of trial and error, a £700 investment, and countless late nights, Naetive launched as a Sole Trader in July 2022 and later evolved into Naetive Limited in September 2023 with a small team but mighty team of 12 helping produce and manufacture our bespoke mugs.
We are extremely thrilled that you are here to read our story and your support means the world!
Love, Mol and The Naetive Team.
