7 NEW backdrops and a new fundraiser for the Marine Stewardship Council through our sustainable paper backdrops

NEW 'Muriel' red formica effect photography backdrop

I'm so excited to share seven NEW photography backdrops with you AND start fundraising for the Marine Stewardship Council via sales of one of our sustainable paper backdrops

You hopefully already know that we're big fans of the sea having grown up sailing off Cornwall and now surfing as a family too.

We support Surfers Against Sewage with a regular monthly donation but we also wanted to create a backdrop to help generate donations to another charity, one that spreads the word about food sustainability and what we can do within our own industry to protect our oceans.

And we think the MSC do that brilliantly!

So with one of our new designs, Surf, we have limited it to ONLY being produced in sustainable paper (our vinyl backdrops are 50-60% recycled and recyclable but they're not as sustainable!) AND for every sale we will donate £5 to the MSC.

This will be done on a monthly basis here - you can donate too if you like!

N EW 'Surf' blue watercolour effect photography backdrop - £5 from every sale will be donated to the MSC

I hope you like this new backdrop - I played with watercolours and then blended the layers to create a mix of colours but keep those gorgeous organic edges clear - I love how the paint bursts out into the paper like waves crashing!

Other new backdrops include wood, tiles and metal - scroll down or find them all here!

Happy styling, and thank you for helping us support these amazing charities, it would help us greatly when, if you do buy the Surf backdrop, you tag us @blackvelvetstyling and @mscecolabel to spread the word about our sustainable backdrops and the MSC's brilliant work protecting our marine life!

Thank you,

Sophie + co

PS - this isn't a formal partnership of any sorts with the MSC, its just something we want to do! We will keep you updated on our monthly donations.
