It is important to work responsibly. Our makers work in safe environments, and receive fair wages. We achieve this by sourcing from UK manufacturers in Britain and by making items ourselves.
Our double oven gloves meet national safety standards for domestic use (BS 6526: 1998).
Our cushions and door dogs have removable covers so they can
be kept clean.
We make our cushion pads with Super Microfibre stuffing material. This is machine washable and much more hygienic than most natural feather fillings, and is a vegan alternative to feathers and wool.
Our current items use natural materials such as linen, cotton, cork, and paper. These are gentler on the environment in terms of biodegradability. However, we have become aware of the extensive use of water in cotton production, as well as chemicals used for bleaching. Therefore we will be moving to cotton that conforms to the global organic textile standard (GOTS) for some of our new products.
We have already moved from screen printing to digital printing for our prints on fabric.
Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) paper and card is used for product packaging and greetings cards.
We avoid generating surplus produce by commissioning short manufacturing runs. These are made in the UK to ensure fair working conditions. We have been proud members of the Made in Britain organisation since the beginning of our journey.
