People

Everyone — no matter their background or job — has the right to:

• Safe working conditions
• A fair wage
• Clean water and sanitation
• Access to education
• A roof over their head
• Clothes on their back

These might sound like basic needs, but many people still don’t have access to them — particularly women and children in garment-producing countries. Education is often reserved for boys, while girls are sent to work from a young age.

Ethical fashion starts by acknowledging these global inequalities. When we choose where and how to buy (or not buy), we cast a vote for the kind of world we want.

Planet

The earth can regenerate — but only if we give it space to do so. Ethical practice means taking what we need, and not more. If trees are cut down, new ones should be planted in the right places, and with care for biodiversity and carbon balance.

In our studio, that means composting, using reclaimed cloth, repurposing offcuts, and growing what we can. These are small choices, but they add up over time.

Animals

Animals can’t speak for themselves — so it’s our role to treat them with care and respect. That includes everything from the fabrics we choose to the pets we bring into our lives.

Only get an animal if you can afford to feed, house, and care for it properly — not as an accessory, but as a living being.

And that’s at the heart of ethical fashion meaning — not just how a garment is made, but how long it’s made to last.

What You Can Do

• Shop consciously: Look into how a company treats its workers, sources its materials, and what causes it supports
• Treat people with respect — in the high street and beyond
• Use what you already have: start composting, grow something, repair your clothes— or learn how with our learn how with one of our visible mending or hand sewing classes.
• Buy less, care more

Whatever you do, it helps.

Our Cloth

We use:

• Organic fabrics from @organic_textile_company
• Deadstock and surplus from @newcrafthouse, @crescenttradinglondon, and @amothreadsofficial
• Unwearable garments repurposed into new designs or learning tools

We also align with certifications like @globalorganictextilestandard, which helps ensure fair conditions at the fibre level.
