Why buy from me?

You care about eco-friendly fashion—stylish, fun, and beautiful clothes that don’t come at the expense of the planet. You understand the urgency of sustainability. But where do you begin when it comes to finding brands you can trust, especially with so much greenwashing around?

The challenge is real. When fast fashion giants like Shein claim eco-friendliness, it’s easy to see how honesty and transparency can be compromised. Fortunately, there are guides that help cut through the noise:

In April 2024, Ethical Consumer rated 52 high-street brands. Shockingly, 14 scored 0/100, over half fell below 25/100, and none surpassed 59/100. No high street brand earned a “Best Buy” rating.

While these resources are useful, we don’t all have time to research every purchase. What we need are brands we can trust when we are looking for eco friendly fashion. That’s where I come in.

Here are seven simple reasons why you can trust my commitment to sustainable, eco-friendly fashion. I offer a blend of luxury and sustainability, delivering one-of-a-kind clothing pieces while ensuring transparency and authenticity in every step:

  1. Ethical Sourcing: Every material Iuse is carefully chosen ensuring minimal environmental impact.

  2. Crafted to Last: My designs are not only unique but made to last. I prioritise quality craftsmanship, so your clothing remains timeless while reducing waste.

  3. Eco-Conscious Materials: From organic cotton to recycled fibers, my materials are selected for their sustainability, allowing you to enjoy luxury without compromising the planet.

  4. Small Batch Production: I create in limited quantities to reduce overproduction and waste. Each piece is special, offering you exclusivity and sustainability.

  5. Transparency at Every Step: You’ll always know where your clothing comes from, how it’s made, and its environmental impact. No greenwashing, just genuine eco-conscious fashion.

  6. Carbon-Conscious Operations: I strive to minimise my carbon footprint through energy-efficient processes and sustainable logistics.  I regularly audit my processes and check my carbon footprint using a recognised calculator.

  7. Circular Fashion Approach: By embracing recycling and upcycling, I promote a circular fashion economy where waste is minimized, and resources are reused.

Choose fashion that combines luxury, uniqueness, and sustainability – fashion you can truly trust.

Why Buy From Me?

  • Transparent Production Process
    From sourcing clothing to be printed, to gathering plant materials for dyeing, every step of my production is clear and traceable.
  • Natural, Compostable Materials
    All my products are made from natural fibres that are compostable (except some linings and labels, which are removed before composting).
  • Second-Hand & Reclaimed
    Every item is second-hand, rescued from the waste cycle and given new life. By choosing my products, you’re helping to reduce landfill, incineration, and waste exports.
  • One-of-a-Kind
    Each piece is unique, with no two prints ever the same. You’ll never find another item exactly like yours.
  • Minimal Environmental Impact
    My production process is low-impact, with the only significant input being the heat to boil water for dyeing.
  • No Landfill Promise
    With my Revolution Programme, I ensure that nothing you purchase from me will ever end up in a landfill. When you’re done with an item, return it for a discount on your next purchase. I’ll rework it into something new until the fabric’s final scraps are ready for composting.
  • B Corp Certification (In Progress)
    I am currently working toward B Corp certification, which verifies high standards in performance, accountability, and transparency across all areas, from employee welfare to supply chain integrity.
