About Salty Kit

Hey there! I’m Nicola, the proud founder of Cornish Brand, Salty Kit. My adventure began in 2020 when, as a furloughed employee, I turned my downtime into a burst of creativity and launched my very first business. My mission? To bring some zest to the world of waterproof bags. 🌊 

The idea sprouted from my love for paddleboarding. I needed a dry bag for the front of my board to keep my essentials safe and dry. Back then, most dry bags were just plain colours with big, bold logos. That’s when I envisioned a stylish dry bag in various colours and patterns, combining functionality with top-notch quality.

These bags are my custom designs, inspired by my own water-based adventures. I've made sure they meet all the requirements of a waterproof bag, based on my experiences. They're manufactured by a BSCI certified factory and undergo rigorous quality testing. From the beginning, I've enlisted cousins and friends as models for my photoshoots, all in the beautiful Padstow area. Although I've had some help, it's mainly been me building the website, taking and editing photos, and creating social media videos. And I'm absolutely loving the creative journey!

These days, you’ll find me chilly dipping year-round with my Bluetit friends—I’m hooked! And I have a bag for every adventure. The small 5-litre bag is perfect for summer when you don’t carry much, or for keeping wet gear separate inside my 30-litre bag after a swim. The 20-litre bag is a versatile choice for medium-sized kits.

Thoughtful details like grab handles, inside pockets, and a carabiner make these bags perfect companions for water sport activities. One spacious compartment means you can easily fit large items like wetsuits or towels. 

My customers are making waves on Trustpilot and social media, sharing how our bags bring a splash of joy to their lives. It’s not just about staying dry; it’s about brightening your day, rain or shine.
