Since opening its doors in November 2024, ULY&RO has become a beloved destination for design-led indie brands, sustainable products, and Scottish-made goods on Forres High Street. Independently owned by Bianca Judd, this charming shop is dedicated to offering eco-friendly, recycled, and locally crafted items making it a must-visit for conscious shoppers.
A Commitment to Sustainability and Scottish Craftsmanship
From the very beginning, ULY&RO has championed sustainable living and Scottish artisans. One of their first bestsellers was the Ocean Plastic Pots by Ocean Kitchen Scotland, a testament to the shop’s mission to support eco-conscious brands.
When the Lucky Swallows, crafted from recycled ocean plastic, arrived on the market, Bianca knew they would be a hit. “As soon as the swallows came to the market, I knew they’d be popular,” she says. “I love them, and so do my customers! They attract all kinds of people into the shop.”
Why the Lucky Swallows Are a Customer Favourite
The Lucky Swallows have quickly become one of ULY&RO’s best-selling items, loved for their nostalgic charm and sustainable story. Customers purchase them as thoughtful gifts for new babies, friends, and relatives even sending them as far as New Zealand, Australia, and Spain.
“They bring back memories of childhood homes, grandparents’, aunts’, and uncles’ houses, where a set of three birds was proudly displayed,” Bianca shares. “These moments are priceless.”
Supporting a Greener Scotland
Beyond their beauty, the Lucky Swallows represent a meaningful mission: to reduce plastic waste in Scotland’s oceans and beaches. “People are genuinely interested in the story behind them and want to support Anna and Ally in their quest,” Bianca explains. “I’m incredibly proud to stock the Lucky Swallows and play a small part in this.”
