## Sustainability story

We believe that running a business is not just about profit. In our own small way we can be a force for good. To this end we have a become Certified as a B Corporation and operate at the highest levels of social and environmental practices for the benefit of people and the planet. We only source the highest quality, sustainably certified fabrics. We actively minimise fabric wastage by buying our fabrics to order, making in small production runs and repurposing dead stock fabric. Our office/warehouse uses very low levels of energy and water. We recycle everything we possibly can. We plant a tree for every order we ship. We donate 1% of our revenue to non-proifts to create a better future for our planet.
