Our objective is to be a more Earth friendly business, be a brand that you can rely on to take responsibility for our impact on the planet and do what we can to lessen any harmful waste. We take measured decisions in who we work with and what we use. To name a few of the ways we do this:

• Our packaging is paper and natural fibre based, so you can reuse, recycle or even compost some of our packaging. Our envelopes are compostable and plastic free and ocean friendly.
• Our see-through sleeves are made from starch fibres, so are 100% degradeable.
• We use kraft brown packing tape.
• We may use alternative packaging, but it will always have been reused and can be reused again for your own packaging needs, examples such as bubblewrap for delicate items.
• We buy from UK based Wholesalers, providing a lower carbon footprint.
• We source and stock organic, sustainable and OEKO-TEX standard fabrics.
• We stock digitally printed fabrics which uses less water in the printing process.
• We work with like green-minded businesses.
• I walk your orders to the Post Office or Post Box myself, rather than taking the car! 

We also work with other small businesses that we love, it is a privilege to work alongside them and whilst this isn’t the most Earth friendly point on the list, we think it is incredibly important that this small business supports other small
