About The Borrowed Piece
Our Story
The Borrowed Piece was born from a simple realization that many puzzle enthusiasts will recognise: after completing a beautiful 1000-piece puzzle, it often ends up sitting on a shelf, never to be touched again. As a scientist, mother, and passionate crafter, I found myself accumulating puzzles that brought me joy for a few days or weeks, then became expensive dust collectors.
That's when the idea struck – what if we could share the joy of puzzling without the burden of ownership?
Why We Started
Our journey began with three core beliefs:
Sustainability Matters: Every puzzle that sits unused after completion represents resources that could bring joy to others. By sharing puzzles across our community, we're reducing waste and making every piece count – literally.
Puzzling Should Be Accessible: Premium puzzles can be expensive, and storage space is precious (especially if you live in the city like us!). We believe everyone should have access to high-quality puzzles without breaking the budget or cluttering their homes.
Community Connections: Puzzling is often seen as a solitary activity, but we see it differently. When you complete a puzzle that someone else will enjoy next, you're part of a larger story – a community of puzzlers sharing experiences and discoveries.
Our Mission
We're not just renting puzzles; we're creating a sustainable way to pursue our passion while building connections with fellow puzzle enthusiasts across Australia. Every puzzle in our collection has been carefully selected to ensure quality, variety, and that special spark that makes you want to dive in immediately.
Looking Forward
We envision a future where puzzle lovers across Australia can access an endless variety of beautiful puzzles, where sustainability and accessibility go hand in hand, and where every completed puzzle is just the beginning of someone else's journey.
Welcome to The Borrowed Piece – where every puzzle tells a story, and every story connects us to something bigger.
