Stylish Sustainable Launches We’re All Talking About
We love it when new seasons drop at our favourite stores, but when they’re eco-friendly ones, even better! Here we reveal the amazing sustainable launches happening in the world of fashion and interiors.
New gorgeousness from Saint + Sofia
This UK-based fashion label launched with sustainability and fair practice at its core. Founded by Malcolm and Dessi Bell, the team has married the most beautiful design with incredible fabrics. I’m talking natural or recycled materials, such as GOTS Certified Organic Cotton, Eco Viscose, Econyl, and Tencel, not to mention the biodegradable packaging each piece arrives in.
The latest collection features crochet-textured tees, soft denims and cotton tops. It has dreamy ’70s vibes with summer festival feels. And, as you would expect, these pieces are modern with an effortless edge, but they are also timeless. As a company, Saint + Sofia believes in slow fashion and classic style, which is more than evident in this recent drop.
We undertake extensive wash and durability tests, wearer trials and work hard to spend extra time ensuring the perfect finish of every style. The path to a more sustainable future truly lies in buying less and wearing more.
Piglet In Bed launches sustainable cotton bedding
I love my bed, but I love it even more when it’s freshly made. There’s arguably no better feeling than crawling under that duvet and sinking into new sheets, especially when they’re from Piglet In Bed. The West Sussex-born brand specialises in gorgeous homewares, specifically linens made from sustainably sourced natural fabrics and SS25 sees the launch of the new cotton bedding collection. Woven from 100% cotton sourced in partnership with the Better Cotton Initiative, the world’s leading sustainability initiative for cotton, the latest designs are pure comfort. Not only that, they look impeccably cool, too.
Packed with mix-and-match designs, calming colourways and updated bestselling hues, this collection is all about embracing low-maintenance, laid-back comfort and creating a space that truly feels like home.
Poppy Delevingne collabs with sustainable fashion, Clay & Peg
I’m beyond excited to become an auntie again this year, so unsurprisingly, all things baby and maternity are suddenly on my radar. One collection that’s caught my attention is the collab between actress and model, Poppy Delevingne and sustainable British label Clary & Peg. Together, they have created a considered 3-piece collection designed to be worn before, during and after pregnancy. Made in London, the pieces have a beautiful vintage air about them. Oh and those yellow Doris dungarees. Super cute.
New sustainable underwear collection at Stripe + Stare
The Stripe + Stare tagline ‘Comfort looks good on you’ says it all. If you’re after lingerie that looks amazing and feels insanely comfy, then this is the label for you. The incredible B-corp female-founded, British brand was born in London and grown in the South-West countryside with the desire to create everyday knickers for the modern woman. Expect bold colours, fun prints and underwear you’ll forget you’re wearing. Pieces are made from TENCEL’s Micro x Modal, which has been made sustainably in Austria from Beechwood Trees, which is scientifically proven to be three times softer than cotton. Well, that’s something all our bottoms would love. The latest Summer Garden collection is a burst of joyful fashion and in its own way a visual celebration of World Earth Day.
This World Earth Day, we’re pressing pause to reflect. On our habits. On our choices. And on how the smallest changes, like choosing planet-friendly pants, can actually have a big impact over time.
100% recycled solid gold jewellery at Akind
Designed in-house in Stockholm, Akind is utterly beautiful with a distinct Scandinavian style. There’s something timeless and pared back about each design, making it perfect for everyday wear. Handcrafted by a third-generation family business in Andalucía, Spain, all their jewellery is made of 100% recycled 14K/18K solid gold. The Cord Collection has just launched and this week sees the launch of their Special Occasion collection, made from lab-grown diamonds. Honestly, if you’re after a special gift or something unique for yourself, check this company out.
At Akind, we believe in products that last. Our jewellery stems from sustainable and ethically sourced materials. This gives us a peace of mind that we’re not destroying nature, but rather preserving what’s already there.
Summer arrives at nobody’s child
As a huge fan of nobody’s child, I was quick on the button to snap up the most recent drop. From weddings to exotic hols, this fashion label has you covered. I’m off to Stagecoach festival this weekend so have duly stocked up on pieces with a bit of a Western flair. Scroll on through and you’ll discover an array of summer dresses, gingham prints, quirky co-ords and laid-back jumpsuits. But more importantly, sustainability is a huge priority for the company, from the manufacturing process to the materials they use. All of which come from reduced-impact sources, including organic farming, recycled feedstock, and responsibly managed farms and forestry.
Sustainable loungewear launch at Chelsea Peers
Chelsea Peers has just launched a brand-new lounge collection which focuses on blending sustainability and style. Reflecting the rise of ‘Soft Adventure’—a movement that celebrates both comfort and activity, this cosy collection is designed for those who enjoy everything from chilling and lounging to yoga and beach walks. You will quickly want to live in these sweatshirts and leggings. Not only that, as we acknowledge Earth Day, the brand’s Earthy Oasis Sleep Collection has also landed. Yet again, offering up the perfect mix of sustainable style and conscious comfort needed to celebrate Earth Day initiatives. Featuring neutral, earthy tones and desert-inspired motifs, the range is crafted from eco-friendly cheesecloth fabrics and embraces inclusive sizing ranging from S-XXXL.
The brilliant upcycling app Loom
This is genius. As someone who is loath to throw her fashion out, I’m all in for this redesign app, Loom. You simply upload a picture of a piece you want to revamp, fix, or alter. Provide some guidance on what you want and your personal style, and then you’re matched with a designer. This UK-based designer will set about transforming that beloved blazer, dress, or lacklustre garment into something new and fabulous.
Not only are you able to connect with talented creatives across the country, essentially supporting small businesses, but you also get to be part of the process. And let’s face it, how amazing would it be to own something truly unique, without having to buy new?
Revamp, renew and repair thanks to this genius app, Loom. Instead of buying new, you get to create something new out of the old. Love this.
