The Vegan Leather Brand

If you’re looking for faux leather, Milan-born THEMOIRè should be on your radar. Ethical and eco-friendly, not only does THEMOIRè donate a percentage of its profits to organisations that are committed to climate change, it also plants a tree for each bag sold. Combining Italian craftsmanship with recycled materials, the brand’s leather-look clutches and vegan trenches will make the perfect plus one this party season.

The Natural Knitwear

Looking for conscious knitwear? Sheep Inc. is among the first clothing companies to produce pieces with a naturally carbon-negative footprint. Combining age-old techniques and modern innovations, the brand offers soft modern knits that do the planet more good than harm. This autumn, it’s launched knitwear in its purest form by way of a new zero-dye collection – the all-natural turtleneck is one of our favourite finds.

The new immersive store experience – which includes a window display by local artist Louis Gibson – pays homage to the brand’s sustainability and upcycling processes, while offering some of the most iconic and covetable styles around; think reconstructed Levi’s like the 70s straight. The store will also sell vintage marketplace collectables, making it the perfect destination for vintage and denim lovers alike. Running now until November 30th.

The Instagram Find

We love discovering small brands on Instagram and our newest find is Swedish-based Birgitta Helmersson – an independent zero-waste women’s clothing brand. Designer Birgitta’s self-titled label uses zero-waste pattern cutting and only creates small collections, designed and made in-house, using natural and repurposed fabrics. We have our eye on the ZW bell jacket.
