Whilst the majority of our collections are made up of TENCEL™ Lyocell & organic cotton, wool is a staple fibre in our collection as it has so many important properties, it is a non polluting recyclable, renewable and durable fibre. We categorically refuse to use any wool products where the sheep have been mulesed. Mulesing is a cruel and painful way of removing a sheep’s skin that has become infested with flies, without using any pain relief or anaesthetic. We believe there are much more humane ways of doing this.

We currently buy our wool coating from a mill in the mountains of Portugal where the sheep are free to roam the upper plateaus of the Serra da Estrela. They make sure that the animals are treated well and live happily. The sheep are shorn manually which ensures the sheep are not distressed.

By using natural and organic fibres rather than synthetic and man-made materials, we are helping to protect the environment. Pesticides that are used in non-organic farming contaminate water supply and surrounding land, endangering animals and their natural habitats.

When polyester and synthetic garments are washed, micro plastics are released into our water system. This is a huge issue, polluting our seas and severely harming the wildlife.

We no longer use any leather in our collections. We made the decision as a brand to cut the categories that needed to be made in this material and no longer produce bags and shoes.

It goes without saying that we would never use fur, angora, mohair or exotic skins.
