About me / About business or organisation:

I make hats using sustainable and ethically sourced materials. At present I have 2 lines: winter casual wear- they are hand felted hats. I use 50pc of natural undyed wool and upcycle textiles into the hats to add colour and reduce use of dyes.
occasion headpieces- I use materials that are traceably fairtrade. My supplier buys directly from a family in the Philippines. I have a no waste policy and use up cycled materials.
I am looking to improve my sustainability credentials all the time. At present I would like to source new fair trade, sustainable materials to use in new designs.
