Ethical and Small Scale
The additional stock that compliments our handmade products is not sourced from wholesalers but is bought DIRECT by ourselves from the weavers and individual family businesses we work with.

Because we select each product ourselves, we can observe how it was made and be sure that the family members and workers that have produced these goods have done so in quality conditions.

We maintain a loyal relationship with the artisans we buy from so that they too can support themselves and their family sustainably.
When you buy from us you are also supporting these families and their small businesses too.

Helping the local economy and supporting British made products:
When creating our new designs, we use local businesses such as small scale printing shops for our design work, local timber yards when making new screens, and environmental friendly inks from local suppliers. Wherever possible we support small businesses such as ourselves and help the local economy.
