SIZE MEDIUM

These jumpers are made from Organic Cotton certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). Made on machines powered by wind power, they’re climate neutral and are a proud member of the fair wear foundation, meaning the workers making them are paid a fair wage.

We take unwanted duvet covers and sew them into cool new things in our UK studio. I’ve been collecting unwanted duvet covers for 16 years now after finding them left behind at car boot sales to end up in landfill. They’re way too cool for that! 

Did you know that most duvets are made from a mix of polyester and cotton? While cotton will naturally biodegrade within a few years, polyester can take hundreds of years to completely biodegrade. While polyester is degrading it sheds toxic microfibres, it is estimated that we ingest a credit card’s worth of microplastic every week. Used textiles of pure cotton have value as they can be mechanically recycled, however as soon as you add more than 5%, it becomes destined for landfill.
