Recycle. Replenish. Responsibility.
MATERIALS
As responsible creators, we are moving towards using more recycled materials. Our handbags, exterior and lining and is made from recycled polyester (rPet), a material made from recycled plastic bottles.We aim to use only recycled fabric and textiles for our make-up bags and socks by the end of 2021.
Our packaging and postage boxes are a minimum of 70% recycled - we are aiming to make this 100% by the end of 2021.
MANUFACTURING
We work closely with our manufacturing partners - including a third generation, family-owned sock factory and a sustainable, vegan leather handbag manufacturer. We work with manufacturers assessed by the amfori BSCI code of conduct that meet their labour principles for ethical business behaviour, fair renumeration, no discrimination, no child labour, decent working hours and occupational health & safety. We move our production from overseas to the UK via train as it is more eco-friendly with low exhaust emissions.
REPLENISHMENT
We donate £1 for the sale of the Rivington bags, sparkly bee, bumblebee and queen bee pins (from this website) to Buglife, saving the small things that run the planet. This charity is dedicated to conservation, education and policy change to protect insects, bugs and invertebrates. ‘If we and the rest of the back-boned animals were to disappear overnight, the rest of the world would get on pretty well. But if the invertebrates were to disappear, the world’s ecosystems would collapse.’ Sir David Attenborough. To date, we have donated £1525.
