Responsibility

slow fashion

We pride ourselves on being a slow fashion brand, producing only one collection per year in small batches to be cherished and enjoyed and to limit waste. We spent a long time searching for partners who share our responsible, low impact ethics, and we are so glad to have found The Block Print Company. All of our printing is done by their team of skilled artisans who hand carve wooden blocks that are then used to hand print our fabric without the use of machinery.

Sustainability

We are constantly looking at new ways to improve our sustainable practices. From 2020 all our garments are made from 100% GOTS certified organic cotton, and printed with naturally-derived, chemical-free dyes.

recycling

Our delivery boxes are made from recycled cardboard and printed with water-based inks. We wrap each garment in recycled tissue paper and seal with an FSC certified paper sticker, printed with soy ink. To seal the package we use biodegradable paper tape and our garment swing tags are made from recycled cotton t-shirt offcuts.
