About Us
Unpackaged was founded in 2006 by Catherine Conway in the belief that there is a better way to sell food.
We want to make it easy for our customers to do the right thing – the right thing for themselves and for the environment.
We started on a market stall and now have a shop at 42 Amwell St, London, EC1R 1XT. Its a very pretty shop so do come and say hello sometime…
Here’s some press about the shop:
