Sustainability

We are conscious of our carbon footprint and are continually evolving in order to care for our planet in these ways:

Using silk to make our scarves and garments. Silk is the cleanest fabric to produce in the world. It is also biodegradable which means in 50 years time you will NOT find it buried in the ground or floating in the oceans.
Silk is printed by an ethical and environmentally conscious company.
It uses less pollutants to make and care for.
Silk can be washed gently by hand in cool water with a soft detergent- NO HARSH DRY CLEANING.
The printing process uses less ink than screen printing, minimal wastage and therefore no harsh dyes are being washed into drains.
Our production is small scale and therefore you are empowering a small business which supports the local economy.
Garments are machine sewn by people who are well paid for their services.
Designs are limited editions and collections are launched when inspiration strikes!
We are not caught up in the cycle of BUY- USE – BIN. Your garments are made to last and be used in a variety of ways.
With our longer than average scarf length, one scarf can create many different looks and styles. We carry the mantra of REUSE- RESTYLE.
We have chosen to place our designs onto natural fibre fabrics such as silk and cotton.
We are collaborating with a designer to manufacture wearable garments with the silk remnants.
We create hair accessories and home decor with silk remnants.
