Locally Sourced
Whilst buying clothing made overseas can be a way to help individuals and communities in developing countries trade their way out of poverty there's often a social cost as local design skills and traditional craftsmanship are lost closer to home.
There's also an environmental cost in terms of shipping goods around the world. By offering brands produced in the UK and Ireland we can help local businesses and reduce the impact of transportation. Basically everyone benefits.
