Sustainability

We remain family owned since being founded in 1986, and pride ourselves on our varied design-led range and ability to create and source high volumes of great value products to transform your home. 

Our supply chain is managed from conception, to the delivery of product to the end user, allowing us to ensure the highest and most sustainable standards are met from the very start to finish.

We continue to explore new production technology, and strive to reduce our carbon footprint.  We already have introduced recycled linings into some of our ranges, and we have a fully recycled polyester velour.  All of our thermal hollowfibre in the thermal linings is 100% recycled.  Our blackout is not coated or manufactured with harsh chemicals.  Our Global Recycled Standard accredited partners ensure they have efficient water treatment and control of their energy consumption. They do not use chemicals during the industrial process.  They respect social ethics, use a percentage of recycled materials (pre and post consumer), and have complete traceability and transparency throughout the supply chain. 

Many of our ranges are dope dyed, which is an efficient and innovative dye process aimed at reducing the environmental footprint.  Yarns used to weave the fabrics are created by adding dyes directly during the yarn spinning process, thus reducing energy and water consumption and eliminating waste. This results in excellent colour fastness properties of the fabric, which withstands multiple washes and resists UV fading so the fabric benefits from increased durability.  

Manufacturing sites are regularly visited, and when this isn't possible, we have independent trusted third parties who do it for us.  All partners carry SMETA or BSCI accreditation, so they're independently verified too!
