Greetings, lovely humans! ✨ It's re-introduction time!

 

We’re Nikky and Stevie, the duo behind Innabox. Running our little biz from our cosy home office we share with our two furry kitty supervisors, Teddy and Ember. (They remind us to take those naps).

The Invisible Illness Club was born in 2019, during a chapter of my life (Nikky here!) when I was battling a whirlwind of excruciating symptoms without a diagnosis. In 2020, I was finally diagnosed with severe endometriosis, and that’s when the real deep dive began.... Researching, learning, and figuring out how to manage life in a way that truly supported my body and mind.

After major surgery, I turned toward holistic healing and began unpacking the trauma of a narcissistic upbringing. Choosing estrangement was one of the hardest but most life saving decisions I’ve ever made. Fast forward to now - Stevie (my fiancé!) and I are thriving in our new chapter, having swapped London life for a home just outside of Derby.

Although burn out still continues to be a major part of our lives!

Along the way, we discovered we’re both have ADHD brains and Stevie has a little touch of the tism too, which honestly explains our creativity! We absolutely love popping up at markets across the Midlands and the North to meet fellow warriors who need a boost. There is nothing better than connecting with our community in person!

I’m the designer behind Innabox, pouring my own heart and humour into every creation, and Stevie has been working full time alongside me for years now, helping grow this dream into something bigger than we ever imagined.....

As you can find us in 65+ Ryman stores across the UK (how wild is that?!) as well as in lots of cute independent brick and mortar shops too!

At the heart of everything we do is a mission that means the world to us: bringing moments of light when things feel heavy. Sometimes, a simple giggle can make things feel just a little more manageable. 💛
