Sustainability

Why Choose Our Leads

• Our glass beads are fully recyclable and are coloured using natural dyes

• Glass beads are a particularly good alternative to plastic beads because when it breaks down, it remains safe and stable and releases no harmful chemicals into the surrounding environment

• Glass also takes far less energy to produce and has a long life span

• We only use leather byproducts from the meat industry. The leather would otherwise be wasted

• Additionally, our leather is only coloured using natural dyes. It will last a lifetime and be passed onto future generations. It is the antithesis of fast fashion.

• The dog lead bags are made by the Heri Girls who are part of the Elimu Sewing Project in Kenya which supports young women from vulnerable backgrounds to pursue a 2-year training program which equips them with income-generating skills and a sewing trade.
