Our
Responsibility
We sell ethically made products from our base in the UK, but our business ethics go much further. We believe in giving back as we grow, that's why we put timeless design, sustainable materials, and socially responsible practices at the very roots of our business.
They are core to our being.
Production & packing
Production
We do not seek to over produce to minimise cost. We keep a small range and tight stockholding. Production is measured to ensure no wasteage through stock write-off. We prefer to run out of stock than produce too much.
Manufacturing partners
We work with a few, close, manufacturing partners in order to ensure traceability and trust within our supply chain. We take pride in the long-term relationships that have enabled shared learning and development in sustainable practices.
Packaging
We use fully recyclable packaging, including post pack and post safe, which minimises our environmental impact and protects your orders in transit. Our current packaging is made of fully recyclable paper.
Legacy
We partner with E-Forests and local farms to ensure we plant a tree for every 25 bags sold. With your support, we aim to plant even more trees as we grow and partner with a range of charities doing great things for the environment.
If you have any ideas for environmentally-friendly products, or suggestions of how we can work more sustainably, please contact us. We are always looking to collaborate on new ideas with great minds.
Our materials
Ensuring sustainability throughout the product range.
Reclaimed leather
We use leather residues from tanneries and other manufacturers to ensure no further wastage.
Hardware
Our high-quality brass hardware is suitable to be continuously recyled by melting down. A process that is widely used throughout the world.
Recycled cotton
Our high quality cotton from recycled sources ensures every bit of manufactured material is utilised.
Recyclable packaging
We ship our bags in 100% paper packaging, just pop it straight in to your recyle bin!
Our commitment to keep improving
Production
As technology advances we will keep reaching out to new manufacturers doing things differently. If there is a better alternative to the present, we will use it.
Delivery
Our worldwide shipping is something we are proud of, whilst recognising the impact on the environment. Better "last-mile" delivery options, for instance by bike, is a project we are involved in.
Carbon-offsetting
This should never be an excuse to ignore better options. We will continue to work with partners in the space whilst recognising the need for a root cause solution.
