Sustainable Materials
Using up all the materials that already exist.
Over 60% of our fabrics are deadstock, preloved or vintage - materials that already exist and are given a new life. The remainder are carefully sourced new fabrics. We prioritise natural fibres and limit synthetic materials where possible.
Beautiful clothes without compromise.
what is
Deadstock Fabric?
A significant proportion of textiles produced never reach the end consumer. Deadstock fabrics are surplus materials from the fashion industry - unused due to overproduction, colour discrepancies or cancelled orders. We work with these existing fabrics to reduce waste and give them a new purpose.
Limited Edition
Deadstock fabrics are sourced in limited quantities, meaning each piece is produced in small runs.
Vintage & Preloved Fabric
Vintage fabrics are known for their distinctive patterns, designs, and prints that may be no longer produced or widely available. From delicate florals to bold geometric shapes, vintage fabrics offer a diverse range of styles that add character and charm.
Unique Style
Vintage fabrics often feature unique patterns, textures, and designs that are no longer commonly found in modern textiles.
Storytelling and History
Each vintage fabric carries its own history and narrative, whether it's a piece of clothing worn by a previous owner or a remnant from a bygone era.
Reworked Vintage
In our Winchester studio we have skillfully repaired and mended more than 300 vintage and preloved clothing items. And we're still going strong!
Vintage & Preloved
Trims & Buttons
Vintage and preloved trims and buttons are used wherever possible, bringing unique detail while supporting the reuse of existing materials. Where new buttons are required, they are sourced from UK supplier Courtney & Co.
new fabrics we use
Sustainable Fabrics
Less than 40% of our studio collection uses new fabrics. Where used, we prioritise natural fibres and higher standard cotton.
We prioritise certified cottons where possible. Oeko-Tex Standard 100 ensures fabrics are tested for harmful substances. GOTS-certified cotton meets strict environmental and social standards, including chemical use and working conditions. Better Cotton supports improved farming practices, including water use, soil health and worker welfare. We source materials from lower risk countries including the UK, Europe and Japan, alongside the use of deadstock fabrics where original production origin may vary.
Animal Materials
We do not source new leather or animal-derived materials for our collections.
The only instance where leather may appear is on original vintage jeans, where existing leather patches are retained as part of the garment’s history. These are not newly sourced or added materials, but preserved elements of pre-existing pieces.
We are committed to minimising the use of animal-derived materials and to reducing reliance on them further over time. Where possible, we prioritise non-animal alternatives and circular design practices.
While our use of animal-derived materials is extremely limited, we support the principles of the Five Domains of animal welfare and aim to ensure all materials are used as responsibly as possible.
