Monday 20^th April marks the start of Fashion Revolution Week which sees brands and producers demonstrate transparency in their supply chain using the hashtag #imadeyourclothes. We share the same ideas and values as Fashion Revolution, and believe that manufacturing should be done responsibly in order to look after the environment and the people involved. Find out more about our manufacturers and perhaps take some time to consider #whomademyclothes?

Staying at home? Shoes are no longer required for the working day and have been replaced by a wonderful pair of socks – and we’re sharing a few of our favourites to put a smile on your face and get your day off to a great start!

We are incredibly lucky to be living in an age where we have a huge amount of resources to keep us busy, and over the last few weeks, the creative community has been sharing their work and tutorials with the whole world to come together during this time of crisis.

With the whole of the UK now on lock down, you might find yourself missing your daily routines – including daily exercise to keep you fit and healthy. So many of us are determined to maintain an exercise regime whilst remaining indoors, and thankfully there has been an incredible amount of resources popping up online to help us to move our workouts indoors whilst we adapt to our new lifestyle.
