Why?
1. We're self-care you wear. For your downtime. Downtime isn't something to squeeze into life. Downtime is life. Our hand knits remind you.
2. 30% of clothing is never sold. 70% of sold clothing is burnt or buried within 3 years. 90% of what's left lives in wardrobes. Our 'closed' circular ecosystem means we get worn.
How?
Well paid expert British hand knitters. Made slow. Hard to scale business model. Zero waste (prototypes deserve love, too). One ingredient - 100% Italian no-wash Merino.
Wear it. Share it. Repair it. And if you ever don't, we'll help sell it to someone that will. Our 'closed' circular ecosystem means we can only sell what we have, then there's a wait list. 25% of every transaction makes additional positive impact, too. See 'Cause' below.
Example
You buy Scarf S10 for £390. Cause gets £97.50. In the future, we help you sell on Scarf S10 for (say) £290. Cause gets another £72.50 (£170 total). You get £217.50. (We get paid on the first transaction only). And so on.
