greener by nature

Info:  Choose from a fabulous range of natural and organic, ethical and sustainably sourced, fairtrade and recycled products for you, your home and your family.

Each of our products has been carefully selected to ensure that the care of the environment and the welfare of those that made it have been considered. We actively source new designs from small producers to bring you your very own work of art, with many items being uniquely individual due to the nature of their manufacture, having been lovingly and beautifully handcrafted. Much of what we source comes from within the British Isles, helping to support local businesses at home as well as abroad. We make every effort to minimise our impact on the envrionment by using as little packaging as possible and trying to keep any transport emissions to a minimum. Any packaging we do use will be either recycled or recyclable and bio-degradable or compostible.

We are committed to providing contemporary eco-friendly and ethical gifts, clothing and home furnishings for the whole family, that are sourced from companies with a like vision and passion for beautiful quality merchandise that has sound sustainable, ethical and environmental credentials. We also want to encourage as many of you as possible to get creative and promote activities such as knitting, sewing and handicrafts as constructive pastimes using vintage, recycled and reclaimed or organic and natural materials.

GreenFibres

Info:  Greenfibres' owners William Lana and his partner Gabriela worked in the financial industry in London, Frankfurt, New York and Brussels. In the early 90's they realised it was vital for ordinary citizens of the planet to change their habits and become more solution focused. Believing it essential to 'be the change they wanted to see', they spent two years researching the conventional textile industry and the opportunities that existed to encourage its evolution towards sustainability and sound ethics. They launched Greenfibres in 1996, but the mission won't be over until everyone from farmer to designer, and producer to consumer, appreciates and acts upon the fact that we don't really have a choice if we want our grandchildren to have the same opportunities as we’ve had -- the textile industry must clean up its act.

Since it began trading in 1996, Greenfibres has grown each year, both in terms of sales and product range. We think this is partly due to a growing awareness of the ecological consequences of our collective purchasing decisions, and partly a result of increasing concerns over the effects on our health of everyday household products. We are trying to push the ecological standards of our products higher all the time and often we are the first to offer them in the UK. We appreciate that we need to be aware of our carbon footprint as well as the way in which a product has been cut, sewn, and trimmed, so with manufacturing facilities in Devon and close co-operation with producers abroad, we are able to influence the production processes to take account of all ethical and ecological issues.
