The pressure is piling on fashion brands to reduce the amount of textile sent to landfill. Despite the many schemes to rescue fabric from the cutting room floor and send it for recycling, greater uptake of these initiatives is being hampered by the need for brands to protect the IP.

A blog with a difference. This is a lovely write-up from the sustainable fashion label Jan ’N June about our collaboration with them.  When cutting the fabrics in our garment production in Poland there happen to be offcuts.

We didn’t like the idea of simply throwing away those offcuts. Instead we decided to make beautiful accessories and notebook covers out of these leftovers! Yay! The collection of these products will be available...

We are so happy to be working with MissPrint to give a new purpose to their beautiful screen-printed fabrics, wallpapers and furnishings! Together we have produced a range of A5 handcrafted notebooks, with a special twist! As visual design is essential to the brand’s ethos, wallpaper samples were placed throughout the pages in a variety of colours from their collection! This is a excellent way of showcasing the materials so that people can interact and engage with them. We also added an expandable pocket to the back of the notebooks, which is a great feature for keeping any spare notes in place! The...

Or find that they are just too tiny to use for something else? Wouldn’t you love to find a sustainable way to reuse them without throwing them away?

We are delighted that all our hard work and creativity has led to us creating these...

How did I do it?  My journey to securing orders in John Lewis Loved and Found came about through an opportunity to present at a Dragons Den event organised with UKFT and Rise last March. The winner would be given the opportunity to be stocked in John Lewis. I nearly turned the event...
