"Like you, we are concerned about the welfare of our planet.
We often think about our children and wonder what problems they will be faced with for generations to come. As creators - as designers - as business owners - we have a responsibility to do what we can to preserve our world, so we source locally whenever possible, and we only use fabrics that are rapidly renewable and pesticide-free.

Our collection features silks farmed from silk worms and mulberry trees that are pesticide-free and silk yarn processed without chemicals. Our wool comes from British Blue Faced Leicester and Shetland sheep that are reared organically. We are also introducing bamboo satin, a beautiful and luxurious fabric that is kind to the environment and has antibacterial properties.

The garments are handcrafted in our studio or by small local manufacturers and social enterprise units, giving something back to the community. The dyes we use are free of metal, amine, and azo compounds, and specialised dyeing is done in our studio. Batch dyeing is sent to a local dyeing company. All promotional materials are printed on FSC certified paper using vegetable inks." -Elena Garcia
