Sustainability Policy

Sustainability is at the forefront of our minds and we have a strong eco-friendly ethos.

Paper goods

All cards and wrapping papers are made using FSC Certified cardstock (made with materials that support responsible forestry). They are uncoated and 100% recyclable. Many are even made from recycled materials originally too.

Textiles

Our textiles are made using reactive inks which gives better rub and wash fastness and conforms to Oeko-tex standard 100 (meaning they contain no harmful chemicals).

All of our textiles are printed on ORGANIC Cotton (which means the Cotton has been produced without the use of pesticides or other harmful chemicals).

The Organic Cotton is unscoured, untreated and naturally formed which gives a beautiful natural fleck on the base of all of our textiles.

Placemats and coasters

Our placemats and coasters have a Eucalyptus base backed with hard-wearing cork and their fine matt Melamine surfaces provides heat resistance up to 145°C (293°F). They are scratch and stain resistant. These products have been made to last for years.

Our cork is FSC certified and sustainably sourced. Our Eucalyptus hardboard is 100% FSC & PEFC certified and 100% Formaldehyde free

Prints

Our prints are Giclée fine art prints. These are archival quality and lightfast. Printed onto Premium Etching Cotton 320gsm Cream White, light etching press 100% Cotton. These prints are made to last a lifetime.

Manufacture

All of our goods are manufactured here in Great Britain to minimise our carbon footprint and to support small, local businesses.

Packaging 

The packaging we use is all 100% recyclable or compostable and has all been sourced from Great Britain.
