Some products instantly feel at home inside an IMP & MAKER hamper.
Not only because they taste incredible, but because they have a story behind them. A story built on passion, craftsmanship, and people who genuinely care about what they’re creating.
Which is exactly why we love Savoursmiths.
You’ll find their beautifully hand-cooked crisps featured across a variety of our gift hampers, from our posh pub collections and wedding gifts to luxury corporate hampers. And once you’ve tried them, it’s easy to understand why.
Savoursmiths is not just a crisp brand. It’s a story of British farming, craftsmanship, entrepreneurial spirit, and elevating something familiar into something genuinely special.
From a Kitchen Table to a Luxury British Brand
Savoursmiths was founded in 2016 by husband-and-wife team and in the Cambridgeshire countryside.
Coming from a farming background, Mike had grown up surrounded by the land and agriculture, while Colette brought experience from modelling and business. Together, they shared a vision to create something distinctly British. A luxury crisp brand that combined quality ingredients, beautiful presentation and genuine provenance.
Similarly to IMP & MAKER, the original idea started with a simple moment at home. Mike and Colette were enjoying a glass of wine alongside crisps, olives and nuts when the conversation turned to the snacks on the table. They realised there was space for crisps that felt more premium. Something crafted with the same care and attention people often associate with wine, cheese or charcuterie.
That moment became Savoursmiths.
What began around their kitchen table quickly evolved into a brand now recognised across both the UK and internationally, supplying luxury hotels, theatres, hospitality venues, farm shops, retailers and leading airlines.
Doing Things Properly
One of the biggest reasons we love working with Savoursmiths is that their approach feels incredibly aligned with ours.
Everything starts with quality.
Grown on the family farm, their potato varieties are carefully selected for flavour and texture, before being hand-cooked in small batches and seasoned with unique selected flavours inspired by food, travel, and entertaining culture.
It’s a true seed-to-packet process, with the Savoursmiths team overseeing every stage themselves, with a heavy focus on quality ingredients, distinctive flavours and beautiful presentation.
Their luxury tins are completely plastic-free and genuinely beautiful. The sort of thing people keep on the kitchen side long after the crisps have mysteriously disappeared.
Elevated, British, Indulgent
Those three words perfectly sum up the Savoursmiths brand.
Elevated in the way they transform something familiar into something worthy of gifting.
British through their farming roots, home-grown potatoes and commitment to local craftsmanship.
And indulgent because these are crisps designed for sharing boards, champagne moments, posh picnics and “just one more handful” situations.
Flavours like Desert Salt & Vinegar, and Wagyu Beef with Honey Mustard feel far beyond your average snack cupboard offering. They’re conversation starters. Crowd-pleasers. The first thing people open when a hamper arrives.
Which is exactly why they work so perfectly in our gifting collections.
Why Savoursmiths Belongs in an IMP & MAKER Hamper
At IMP & MAKER, we’re incredibly selective about the brands we partner with.
We’re always looking for makers who care deeply about quality, presentation and the experience their products create. Brands with real stories behind them. Brands that bring something memorable to the table.
Savoursmiths does all of that effortlessly.
Their crisps instantly elevate a hamper, whether it’s heading to a newly married couple, a Father’s Day celebration, a corporate client, or a Friday night in with wine and nibbles.
They bring personality. Luxury. Familiarity with a twist.
Most importantly, they create those little moments people remember when opening a gift.
The “these are amazing” moments. And for us, that’s what great gifting is all about.
