Eco Policy

Our Eco Promises

1. All of our packaging is recyclable and sourced sustainably (find out more about how we source our packaging here!)

  • All cardboard and tape is paper-based and can be recycled with paper waste - no unrecyclable plastics here!
  • The packing peanuts we use are fully compostable - they are made from GM-free corn starch and coloured with food colouring
  • Our labels are printed using a heat printer, cutting down plastic waste of ink cartridges
  • We don't send paperwork - all delivery notes, invoices and coupons are sent via email

2. Our Brand ethics

All of our products are made in the UK, from small businesses. All of the small businesses we buy from have at least one of these qualities:

  • Women-owned
    • To be truly sustainable, businesses also have to be socially responsible. By supporting women-owned businesses, we are promoting gender equality, empowering women, and investing in sustainable practices. Many women-owned businesses prioritise eco-conscious practises, and by supporting their work, we can promote gender equality, which can help dismantle the gender wage-gap and create a more equitable environment where everyone can succeed, regardless of their gender.
  • Organic
    • Buying organic products reduces packaging and waste, uses less chemicals, saves water and lowers energy use and emissions.
  • Made from recycled materials
    • Products made from recycled materials reduces the amount of natural resources extracted from our planet, reduces waste, saves energy and supports a circular economy for resources.
  • Handmade
    • Similarly to supporting women-owned businesses, by supporting suppliers who handmake their products, we promote them over mass-produced alternatives that have negative impacts both on the environment and on the economy. Choosing handmade over mass-produced, or dropshipped products lowers the climate cost of materials and of the fuel needed to transport goods.

3. All of our products are vetted by us

Every product we sell is individually vetted by us, using the following values:

  • Is is better than conventional alternatives?
  • Are they made sustainably?
  • Are they affordable and durable?
  • Are they produced locally?

If all of the above needs are not met, the product won't make it into our shop

4. We only deliver in the UK

This cuts down emissions from long distance shipping, and supports UK based customers and businesses.
