Alice Saunders started Forestbound from her living room in Boston during the winter of 2007. Driven by her passion for history and vintage textiles, she created Forestbound to tell the stories of the reclaimed materials that she had been uncovering at flea markets and estate sales throughout New England. Alice’s designs are both timeless and unique; highlighting special pieces of history that she hopes to bring back into the present through memorable products and intentional craftsmanship.
Alice has also become widely known for her off grid cabin in the woods of New Hampshire. Here Alice and her partner, Greg, employ an ethos of living minimally and mindfully; working with mostly found and salvaged materials, making mindful decisions based around the land, and creating minimal waste. These same principles are applied daily at the Forestbound studio; both in the products created and the processes used to craft the mostly one of a kind pieces.
