Make a splash and come celebrate WORLD OCEANS DAY with us.
Our country is full of idyllic coastal resorts, made special by one thing.. our ocean. Being surrounded by water brings a sense of calm and wellbeing. I become more obsessed each year in my quest for the perfect alfresco sea view. It got me thinking about the need to to preserve this beauty and what we can do to #saveourseas

save our seas from plastic pollution
Plastic pollution is becoming a serious problem for all our seas...
80% of all pollution in the ocean comes from people on land.
8 million tonnes of plastic per year ends up in the ocean, wreaking havoc on wildlife, fisheries and tourism.
Plastic pollution costs the lives of seabirds and marine mammals every year.
Fish eat plastic, and we eat the fish.

Healthy Oceans, Healthy Us
A healthy world ocean is critical to our survival. Every year, World Oceans Day provides a unique opportunity to honor, protect, and conserve our world’s shared ocean.
Our ocean is so important it...
Generates most of the oxygen we breathe
Helps feed us
Regulates our climate
Cleans the water we drink
Offers a pharmacopoeia of medicines
Provides limitless inspiration

change gonna come
It has to. So what can we do?
Ditch the plastic.
Use less and recycle the plastic you must use.
Go for alternatives like glass and metal.
Go vintage - a little make-do-a-mend - they had to, but now we need to;
reduce, reuse and recycle
Use these hashtags on social to spread the word and help clean up our ocean: #WorldOceansDay #TogetherWeCan

You Say You Want a Revolution
It’s Fashion Revolution Week and we’re questioning how and where we source our clothing, read on to get involved…
"We all want to change the world
You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan"
Revolution, The Beatles 1968
In the words of the fab four we all want to change the world and Fashion Revolution Week is the perfect place to start.
Lets start a revolution
All week long events are taking place across the UK and globally to raise awareness and celebrate Fashion Revolution Week 23-29 April. Making us question our attitude to fast fashion, how and where we source our clothing. We want to know that the clothes we buy don’t come at the cost of people or the planet.
The manufacturing of clothes uses up massive amounts of water, energy and land with so much of our clothing ending up in landfill. "The average British woman hoards £285 of clothes they will never wear, the equivalent of 22 outfits left hanging in valuable wardrobe space, or, £30 billion of unworn clothes. That’s a lot of unloved clothing" Fashion Revolution.

Our Fashion Love Story
Begins with vintage denim - the look, the feel, the tones. A little 80s stonewash, a lotta denim on denim. Pull it out the closet, ease it on and greet it like an old friend. The more you wear this classic, the softer the feel - it just gets better with age.
The perfect denim jacket can last a lifetime, will never date and can take you anywhere. The journey of my well-loved vintage jacket has seen me through boogie nights and babies, pairs beautifully with my grandad's ancient paisley scarf and my recent Pucci style vintage day dress (best find ever) and even shows up in our latest Spring/Summer campaign. Source a vintage treasure and you'll never look back. Cool wash and hang dry for best results.
