Ethical & Sustainability Manifesto
🌿 Our Environmental Commitment
We are dedicated to minimising our footprint and giving discarded materials a beautiful second life.
Our Fabrics & Materials
- Solar-Powered Production: All of our clothing is stitched on sewing machines run on solar power.
- Surplus Cotton & Rayon: Sourced from Delhi surplus markets. This rescues excess material from larger brands and creates limited-edition, unique pieces.
- Organic Cotton: Our plain cotton is certified organic and dyed using strictly azo-free dyes.
- Recycled Silks & Polyesters: All silk and polyester items are crafted from upcycled saris.
- Zero-Waste Factory: We repurpose all fabric scraps into patchwork clothing, hairbands, and scrunchies.
Packaging & Operations
- Minimal Packaging: We skip individual wrapping and reuse original shipping materials for all wholesale orders.
- Eco-Friendly Mailers: All mail-order envelopes are made from recycled, biodegradable materials.
- Green Energy: Our UK office is powered by a sustainable energy supplier.
- Rainforest Protection: We donate to a rainforest planting scheme with every purchase made on our website.
🤝 Our Ethical Promise
We believe in fair, transparent, and empowering relationships with the people who make our products.
Our Clothing Factory (Rajasthan, India)
- Long-Term Partnership: Produced by a family-run business we have worked closely with for over 15 years. We visit annually.
- Safe Working Conditions: We ensure a clean, safe workplace with regular breaks and holidays.
- Fair Pay & Stability: Regular batches of production ensure year-round employment (rather than seasonal rushes). We regularly pay advances to ensure wages are always paid on time.
- Transparency: Check out our social media for real images of the factory and the makers behind your clothes.
Our Guatemalan Artisans
- Maya Cooperative: Handcrafted by a team of over 300 Maya artisans, allowing them to earn a sustainable living alongside agricultural work. Built on trust and mutual respect, empowering indigenous communities to share their textile traditions with the world.
We go beyond our supply chain to support education, equality, and the environment.
- Education in India: We proudly sponsor a student at the Fior di Lotto Foundation. We also fund additional projects like sewing machines, medical care, food distribution, and post-natal support.
- BAFTS Certification: We are an active member and supporter of the BAFTS Fair Trade Network UK.
- Campaigning: We regularly participate in fundraising and awareness campaigns for ethical and sustainable fashion causes.
