Sustainabilityis a key priorityfor us and we are co m mitted to working closely with suppliers who sharethe sa me

Ourfabric offieringincludesranges made withrecycled PET bottles,including bottlesfro m sea waste. The bottles are sent to arecyclingfactory, wherethey are shreddedinto fiakes, processedinto chips andthen extrudedinto ffla ments. Thisis thenturnedinto yarnreadyfor weaving.
