OUR VALUES

Hand-illustrated

Each colour story is hand-painted or created from original etchings by Tamara. None of our art is digitally created, copied or purchased.

Fair-made

All of our products are made by a small family-owned print specialist in India which as been running since 1932 and has accredited fair trade working standards and ethical practices.

Low-impact

We only print in very small batches using more sustainable fabrics with digital printing, which uses less water than screen printing, to lessen our impact on the environment as much as possible.

Natural dyes

Our scarves and accessories are printed using less harmful chemicals and are AZO-Free

No waste

By using our own weavers our fabrics are woven to specific widths so cutting fabric to waste is minimised and because we print in such small batches, we never throw anything away.

Box Free

We are moving to being "Box-Free" by creating more sustainable silk pouches - made from off-cuts from our “Tree” silk squares.

Natural fabric

We use sustainable materials where possible: silk and cashmere are both renewable materials with low environmental impact and can be recycled;  modal is a renewable, biodegradable fabric made from soft wood trees.

Less water

By printing our scarves and accessories digitally, we save at least 60% of water consumption and have a significant reduction in ink. We also use less energy.

We want our customers to not only love our wonderful scarves, bags and cushions, but also be happy with the way they are produced, we want to be as transparent as possible and to share our values with you.

 

All of our products are made with accredited fair trade working standards and practices. We partner with printers in both England and in India. Each is a specialist with a wealth of family experience, spanning half a century in printing, weaving and handwork.

 

We try to use sustainable materials where possible: silk and cashmere are both renewable materials with low environmental impact and can be recycled;  modal is a renewable, biodegradable fabric made from soft wood trees.

​

We are excited to replace our gift boxes with more sustainable silk pouches made from the same silk as we use for our “Tree” silk squares. As well as being more environmentally considerate, they are a lovely way to store each scarf at home, or anything else delicate. And they look and feel beautiful too. We’ll still provide the option of a gift box, whilst we have some in stock, but plan to be box free as soon as possible. And like the boxes, our pouches will be included in the price of our scarves.

 

By using our own weavers our fabrics are woven to specific widths so cutting fabric to waste is minimised. We know that printing dyestuffs are harmful to the environment but by using digital printing there is less use of water and chemicals than traditional screen printing, the inks are AZO dye free, and there is no waste of fabric.

 

We are just starting and we are working on more ways of bringing beautiful products with minimal environmental impact.
