Support Local, Support Sustainability!

I’m a big believer in supporting local businesses, which is why I’m proud to stock my belts in a handful of independent shops run by real people who care about craft and community. Shopping local means backing creativityjobs, and the kind of sustainable economy we all want to see more of. Buying from these shops is just as important as buying from me directly – plus, you get to see the belts up closetry them on, and check out other brilliant local makers while you're at it

  • Ran.Dom.Obj

    ran.dom.obj.abz is a small creative store in Aberdeen with a focus on unusual and interesting finds. Tucked inside @hea.aberdeen, it offers a mix of objects and visual inspiration, giving the space a quirky, curated feel. Open most days from early afternoon until early evening, it’s the kind of spot where you never quite know what you’ll discover but you’re always glad you stopped by.

Friends of Forma


Building this business into something that consistently prevents hundreds of kilograms of plastic waste from going to landfill has truly been a community effort. The journey wouldn’t have been possible without the support of some incredible people and organisations, including Climb Scotland, Urban Uprising, and Transition Extreme.

  • Climb Scotland

    Working with ClimbScotland has been not only a big help but a genuine joy. Their staff have consistently gone above and beyond supporting me directly, but also doing incredible work for the climbing community as a whole.

    I’ve seen first-hand the positive impact they have on the industry, and they deserve a big shout out for everything they do.

  • Urban Uprising

    From the very beginning, Urban Uprising has been part of the Forma journey. Their volunteers have been long-term supporters, helping us with donations of rope and opening doors through their connections in the climbing community.

    That kind of support has been invaluable in getting Forma off the ground and as the brand grows, we’re excited to explore even more ways to work together.

  • Transition Extreme

    While studying at university, I worked part-time as a receptionist at Transition Extreme. I saw first-hand just how much rope there was. Almost alwas it was donated to schools and groups, but there was still a clear problem with rope waste across the industry in Scotland.

    That’s what gave me the idea to make it my university project. With support and rope donations from Transition Extreme, I was able to get started and that project eventually grew into a this, Forma Designs Collective.
