Enviromental Policy
It's so important to me that the items that I make and sell are eco-friendly and ethical. All my products are made either by myself in my home studio in London or by UK only manufacturers.
All my packaging is 100% recyclable including the brown paper tape which is made with a vegetable base which is compostable so you can put all the packaging from your order into your paper recycling.
To make it easy for you to tell how the products I sell are made you'll find some icons in the product descriptions to show if an item is climate neutral or printed by hand (by me!).
Printed by hand - you'll find this on my A4 screen print range. All the products with this icon have been printed by me in my home studio. I use only water based, non-toxic screen printing ink which is much kinder to the environment. I also screen print using the stencil method meaning there are no harsh chemicals used in preparing my designs or cleaning my screens.
Sustainably Sourced Paper - you'll find this icon on my greetings card, sticker sheets and badges ranges. These items are either sent to my manufacturers in the UK to be printed or require a printed component to be created. The paper comes from either well managed forests that are carefully monitored or recycled materials and are accredited by the FSC.
Giving back is such a huge part of my business. 10% from every order is donated to wildlife charities to help them continue their vital research and conservation work. You'll find this icon on every single item in my store.
