Eco-Friendly Products
We carefully select our products with sustainability in mind, ensuring that they are sourced from suppliers who share our commitment to eco-friendly practices. Some of our partners are still on their sustainability journey, but we continuously work with them to ensure improvements toward a greener future.
Here's a glimpse of what sustainability means in the products we offer:
-
Clothing and Textiles: We use only 100% organic cotton and work with partners like #Teemill to ensure our clothing is part of a circular economy. #teemill's products are made with renewable energy, and customers can return used items for recycling, further reducing waste and keeping materials in use for longer.
-
Homeware: Our Bone China Mugs and ceramic products are made with 100% organic materials, carefully crafted to meet the highest sustainability standards. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee or gifting to a loved one, you can feel good knowing you're making a greener choice.
-
Cards and Prints: Our greeting cards and art prints are printed on high-quality 100% organic paper, offering a luxurious feel while staying eco-friendly. We work with trusted UK-based companies like Inkthreadable to ensure that even our smallest products make a big difference for the environment.
-
Gift Wrap: While our beautiful wrapping paper isn’t printed in the UK, we offset its carbon footprint, and it is sold in sets of three sheets to minimise shipping waste.
Circular Economy
As part of our mission, we’ve partnered with #Teemill, a company that specialises in low-waste circular production. When you shop with us, you’re not just purchasing a product—you’re helping create a positive impact. Many of our items, such as clothing and textiles, come with a QR code that allows you to return the product once it’s worn out. This keeps it out of landfills and gives it a new life while earning you store credit for future purchases.
#Teemill also ensures that all products are made using renewable energy, such as wind and solar power, and they plant trees to offset any remaining carbon emissions.
Our Partners
We’ve thoughtfully chosen partners who align with our ethos of sustainability. By working with companies like Printful, Inkthreadable, and Two Fifteen, we ensure that our products are made responsibly. While we favour UK-based companies to reduce shipping emissions and maintain a smaller carbon footprint, sometimes we need to look further afield, like Printful, who produce our wrapping paper. Although the cost of postage and packaging can be higher for these items, Printful offsets their carbon footprint, making them a responsible choice. We encourage you to consider stocking up on your favourites rather than buying just what you need or want, helping to minimise overall shipping emissions.
Reducing Waste
In addition to choosing eco-friendly materials, we focus on reducing waste in packaging and shipping. Our aim is to minimize single-use plastics, with packaging that's either biodegradable or easily recyclable. We also encourage our customers to reuse or recycle packaging whenever possible, reflecting our belief that small actions can lead to big change.
