Ipswich Star – Five Ethical Companies working to Save the Planet

I totally adore Where does it come from! The fashion industry is known for epicly harsh labour practices so to be able to buy from a company that places great importance on the traceablity of their products and the story behind them – you are ensured that who ever created your item was paid a fair wage for their skill and time and were working in a safe environment. This method of production is perfect for minimizing carbon environmental footprints, and each item is handmade by an artisan – meaning the effort and care that went into creating your item is far superior to anything churned out in a factory. I like how this company supports, people and communities. These products are so well made, and beautifully fun too – it is always a pleasure to use my favourite ant print scarf, it always makes me smile when I wear it.

I am really happy to be able to wear something which has total traceability and is from an organisation with such regard and involvement with the people involved in its production and for the environment.I checked through all the scarves on offer and found it difficult to choose, they all showed such quirky humour but I do like my ant choice and I can always go back for a different design!The ‘Where does it come from’ representative was so genuine, committed and knowledgeable it was a real pleasure to be able to purchase something.

Just wanted to let you know how thrilled I am with my son’s jeans!

I’m very impressed with how soft they are and such a fab colour!
It was lovely to talk through the process of how his jeans were made – very special.
And loving the adjustable waist – perfect for this growing boy!

Thank you for being so helpful and I look forward to seeing more from Where Does It Come From?

The material is very hard wearing and washes up beautifully.  The thick material quality is noticeably different from supermarket clothes and cheaper clothes and the quality of the garments is visible from the off.
