Here's what makes us different from the rest...

• All our products are Fairtrade & organic - we're the real thing
• We only use good quality cotton; organic, pure & strong
• We are responsible for how our products are made
• The eco-system & environment are never far from our thoughts
• We're independent: working together as a family - in business

At our Lewes workshop, in the heart of the Sussex Downs, we create textiles with ethics. We work like craftspeople to develop products that are both beautiful & useful. Our team of specialists work on everything: from fibre, yarn, fabric, cut, finish, colour & decoration to packaging.

Unlike the fast-fashion industry, we start by thinking about our customers & taking time to understand what you truly need. We don't chase any glamorous illusions.

Back in 1998, Abi & Thomas Petit, pioneered the introduction of ethical textiles into the UK.

"Where possible, we source & make our cotton products locally. But we're also deeply committed to the Agrocel farming project in Kutch - western India - where the lives of small-scale farming families have been transformed by our work & support over the years. We work to serve the farming communities, so logically; our work starts in the cotton fields - with farmers that work in harmony with the earth.

All the cotton we use comes from farming groups that we know & is certified organic & Fairtrade. No shortcuts."
