Caring for your garment
We always recommend checking the label for specific care instructions to keep your garment in top condition.Our Preferred Materials
Organic Cotton
Organic Cotton is grown without harmful chemicals, leaving the soil, air and water free from contaminants that cause harm.
GOTS (Global Organic Textiles Standard) is recognised as the world’s leading processing standard for textiles made form organic fibres. It has a high level of environmental criteria along the entire supply chain and requires ethical standards as well.
When you buy organic cotton you are investing in water conservation, cleaner air, better soil and farmer livelihoods. Organic cotton is hand-picked, which means that it retains it’s from, making it feel softer on your skin, and better looking (always important).
Aside from that, organic cotton is chemical free and hypoallergenic. The price for organic cotton is therefore slightly higher.
Why we love Organic Cotton
- Organic cotton uses 88% less water and 62% less energy than regular cotton.
- It's certified as compostable and biodegradable under industrial, home, soil and marine conditions.

European Flax® Linen
Linen is derived from the flax plant, the second most highly productive fibre crop after hemp.
It grows very successfully with limited use of herbicides, pesticides, or other chemicals. The process of turning the flax into linen is also simple and chemical-free.
The EUROPEAN FLAX® certification, which certifies traceability at every step of processing from flax seed to the finished product.
The EUROPEAN FLAX® Charter, signed by all the Flax producers, guarantees local farming that respects the environment and commits to zero irrigation, zero GMO, and zero waste. Fibre extraction (scutching) is 100% mechanical meaning zero chemicals are used in the process.
All work is done in compliance with the Inter national Labour Organisation (ILO). The ILO is devoted to promoting social justice and inter nationally recognised human and labour rights, pursuing its founding mission that social justice is essential to universal and lasting peace.
No irrigation, no GMO, no waste.
Proven qualities: comfort, thermoregulation and moisture management
Why we love European Flax® Linen
Linen is uniquely strong, it is a very hardwearing fabric, which means you can use our linen products for longer and replace them less often. When linen finally does come to the end of its life, the fibres biodegrade quicker than most fabrics.

WOOL
Wool is a natural fibre produced by sheep who consume the organic carbon stored in plants and convert it to wool.
It is one of the most effective forms of all-weather protection and science is yet to produce a fibre which matches its unique properties.
50% of the weight of wool is pure organic carbon.
No chemicals needed to craft into clothing.
Wool biodegrades readily on land and in water as a protein-based fibre, wool does not contribute to microplastic pollution.
Recyclable: the high quality and durability of the wool fibre makes it inherently suitable for re-use and recycling.
Wool textile products tend to be washed less frequently at lower temperatures which has a lower impact on the environment.
Why we love Wool
- By wearing wool you can enjoy its many performance benefits: great thermal properties, breathable for maximum natural comfort, and keep warm without overheating.

Leather
Leather has been embraced and celebrated by our Kenyan artisans for generations.
By rejecting leather we would destroy many jobs for individuals who rely on the leather industry for their livelihood.
We only use leather by-products from the meat industry. The leather would otherwise be wasted.
Additionally, our leather is dried in the sun and only coloured using natural dyes.
Why we love Leather
Leather has the ability to last generations. It can last a lifetime and be passed down from mother to daughter.

Glass Beads
Our stunning beaded belts, handbags, and sandals are all made using glass beads.
Glass is a particularly good alternative to plastic because when glass breaks down, it remains safe and stable and releases no harmful chemicals into the surrounding environment.
Glass also takes far less energy to produce and has a long life span.
Why we love Glass Beads
Glass is a fully recyclable material that can be recycled infinite times.
Our beaded sandals, bags and belts are handcrafted by Kenyan and Indian artisans. We are proud to keep this art alive through trade.
The glass beads are coloured using natural dyes.
