The Ethical Silk Company makes responsibly harvested mulberry silk goods. Mulberry silk is extracted after the moth has left the cocoon, leaving the moth unharmed. This kind method results in a beautiful matte lustre. Everything is designed in Ireland and made in India by fair trade tailor Mehera Shaw. Block printed products are hand dyed with low impact, AZO free dyes. A water filtration system removes residue so it can be recycled and reused for fabric washing, and a rainwater catchment system reduces water use. Production is limited to short and repeat runs. Careful pattern placement minimises waste. And older stock is repurposed into smaller items. 10% of profits are donated to Jeevan Jyothi AIDS Centre in India and Focus Ireland, a charity that works to prevent people becoming, remaining or returning to homelessness.

YesAnd has worked for more than three decades with a close-knit team of Indian farmers, mills and collaborators to make fashion sustainable. They only use sustainable materials like organic cotton and Tencel. Cotton products are GOTS certified. They use inks free from harmful chemicals. That means no chlorine bleach, acetone, formaldehyde or heavy metals. Their supply chain follows stringent labor standards, including payment of a living wage, safe working conditions and absolutely no child labor. They offset some of their carbon emissions by planting a mangrove tree for every order.
