Sustainable Resortwear By Adriana Degreas
We are always looking for meaningful fashion brands that provide responsible craftsmanship for the clothes we actually want to wear. Adriana Degreas is just that. The predominantly resortwear line of her eponymously named label uses raw materials like the highest-quality linens, cottons and silk, to create a collection of holiday-worthy pieces you’ll wear year after year.
We’re low-key obsessed with their ’60s-inspired swimsuits – flower power motifs and cut-outs in monochrome colourways; wafty linen two-pieces that will take you from sightseeing to beach cocktails’ and killer cocktail dresses with quirky detailing like starfish across the bust.
The sort of collection worth booking a holiday for.

Sustainable Self-Care With Commune
We are big cheerleaders of using good hand soap, and when it’s this good, there is no way we are saving it for guests. Hailing from the English countryside and set up by husband and wife duo, Rémi Paringaux and Kate Neal, Commune debuts with their Seymour line of hand care, body care and hair care, as well as a solid fragrance, all of which are clean, natural and plant-based, free from artificial fragrances, dyes, sulphates, parabens and other harsh chemicals.
Packaging is also pleasing and intentionally clever, from reusable pumps to a 100% recyclable aluminium bottle to zero plastic packaging. And the scents? Divine. Think potent botanicals, laden with ripe fruits and grounded in warming woody tones, from Geranium to Grapefruit, Galbanum to Cypress.

Monica Vinader’s Wave Collection
Monica Vinader has long been a jewellery brand that speaks to women. Offering well-priced pieces that work for the everyday, it was a pioneer of new-wave jewellery brands that sang about women buying jewellery for themselves for no other reason than they wanted to.
Sustainability and ethical sourcing have always been at the brand’s core, and this Earth Day, they have launched the Wave Collection, featuring earrings, rings, nekalces and a cuff, inspired by the sea and made using 100% recycled 18k gold. Each piece is crafted into a fluid, sea-inspired form and its supply chain is fully retracable via Product Passport.

Calling all Glastonbury ticketholders (not jealous at all, AT ALL), make sure you bookmark this one for the UK’s most important summer festival as heritage brand Barbour is launching an ingenious new rental service.

Festival goers will be able to rent these on-site at Glasto with all proceeds going to Oxfam and every jacket in the collection for rent is unique and has been cleaned, repaired and re-waxed by the Barbour artisans in South Shields ahead of the festival. As well as jackets there will be re-loved bucket hats available for purchase at £39.
