The Road to Hunted + Co

Carolina Timm

From burnout to building something beautiful—this is how we got here...

We didn’t plan for this to happen.
It was not originally in a business plan, it was not on a vision board, and definitely not on our ‘what’s next?’ checklist. But Hunted + Co became our way forward when the old ways no longer felt ‘right’.

We are sisters: creative, stubborn, sentimental, and quietly ambitious.
We both came from creative industries- music, marketing, content, and digital. One of us spent years producing unforgettable events in the music label world, managing artist travel supplier relationships and sourcing wow-factor gifts for talent and execs. The other thrived in the fast-moving world of startups - writing content, designing, building digital platforms and bringing creative ideas to life online.

We loved what we did. Until we didn’t.

Workplaces shifted. Values drifted. Somewhere along the way, the spark dulled. The music stopped, and we were left in spaces that no longer aligned - where diversity values were sidelined, where burnout was the norm, and where creativity felt more like survival than a true expression.

So we stepped away.

And from that space, Hunted + Co started to form…

A muse close to home

So much of our aesthetic, our values, and our creative spirit trace back to our beautiful mother. She is, without a doubt, our original muse and inspiration.

With an elegant, timeless sense of style. Always graceful, she has shown us that beauty isn’t loud. That art belongs in everyday life and that your home can be a gallery, a celebration, a sanctuary.

She paints. She styles. She creates magical, festive settings that feel like something out of a magazine. Christmas, birthdays, even a simple dinner at home. It is always thoughtful. Always beautiful.

Growing up in that world has left its mark. Our love of detail, form, and atmosphere lives there. It guides everything we curate today.

Our why

We are two sisters with Latina heritage and a blend of Spanish and French ancestry. That influence is stitched through everything we create; elegant but grounded, minimal but always elevated.

We believe in style with substance. In pieces that last. In gifting with meaning. We built Hunted + Co to source bespoke makers, celebrate slow living, and curate an offering of items that bring beauty and character into your life. Think cool jewellery, timeless accessories, statement homewares and thoughtful gifts, all made with intention.

We’re anti fast-fashion, pro forever. We’re here for quiet luxury, not disposable or flashy trends. This is about living and dressing with meaning.

The climb

We knew we’d have to learn as we went, but we didn’t realise just how high the mountain was. From packaging and platform glitches to learning countless new systems, SEO, deciphering data analytics, and navigating the wild world of social media - we’ve been stretched. We’ve sometimes doubted ourselves. Putting our faces online? We are getting there. Still not totally comfortable. Imposter syndrome? Oh, absolutely. We will however overcome this.

But we are climbing anyway.
Because we believe in this.

Recently joining the brilliant She.com crew has felt like a full-circle moment. Finding mentorship, connection, and like-minded people who get it. This journey is not linear, and it’s definitely not perfect, but it’s ours.

This is just the beginning

Hunted + Co is more than an online store. It’s a quiet rebellion against fast fashion, landfill culture and trend-chasing. It’s a celebration of sustainable beauty, timeless design, and a slower and more considered way of living.

We want to make every day feel a little more special. Whether it’s lighting a beautiful candle in a room, gifting something meaningful, or simply wearing a piece that makes you feel like you - this is about choosing things that matter.

We are still learning. Still evolving. Still creating.
But we are doing it with heart.

Thank you for walking this road with us.
We are so glad you’re here.
xx
Hunted + Co.
