SAY 'NO' TO PLASTIC
Natural yarns are better for the planet
Ethical yarns
Up to 35% of the plastic polluting our oceans is from laundering synthetic clothing
Polyester and acrylic are made from crude oil. Even recycled synthetics use huge amounts of energy to recycle them.
We believe there is a better way. A natural way.
As more and more brands turn to manmade fibres to reduce costs and make cheaper clothes, we have pledged to use only natural yarns that are kinder to you and the planet. Lower impact, ethically sound and plastic-free.
Go natural for a more sustainable lifestyle.

Most people don’t realise that viscose is a natural yarn, made from wood pulp. We aim to use viscose derived from fast-growing, low water consumption bamboo where possible.
Many of our viscose styles are made using eco-certified viscose.
This ensures the pulp used is only obtained from certified renewable sources and that all processes used are eco-responsible.
Our EcoVero, created by Lenzing results in 50% less CO2 emissions and 50% less water waste (water is cleaned & returned to nature.) (2)
Our pure linen is made from the flax plant, a natural fibre that has been used for thousands of years.
Garments made using flax have been found that date back as far as 36,000 years (3).
Incredibly versatile, flax seeds can be used for wallpaper, cosmetics, bedding, paint and even roof insulation. It has an extremely low environmental impact, with almost zero waste, needing less water than cotton and using no pesticides in the growing process.
Every part of the wonderful flaxseed can be used in some way and is a completely biodegradable.
It takes 2,700 litres of water to produce enough conventional cotton for just one t-shirt. By comparison, organic cotton only uses 243 litres (4).
Our organic farmers use only natural methods to grow their cotton. No nasty pesticides or fertilisers are used.
Traditional crop rotation techniques and the banned use of toxins reduces health risks to workers, protects precious waterways and produces healthier soil. This healthy soil acts like a sponge, retaining water for longer.
We aim to move all our cotton styles to organic cotton.
