suppliers, sustainability and sleeping at night
i hate the idea that something i make will live in a landfill for thousands of years because honestly nothing that anyone makes is special enough for that, which is why i spend so many hours of my life making sure everything i make is as environmentally friendly as possible. my eco promise is that i have truly tried my hardest to make sure everything here is vegan, cruelty free and kind to the planet whilst still being fun and cool and interesting. by subscribing to my mail club and buying stuff here you are also being very kind and for that you are hereby granted 3 wishes. good for you eco diva i would wish for a house sized loaf of garlic bread that I can live in and eat my way out of like a mouse
cool stuff:
all my products are print on demand for many reasons but mostly because it means less wasted stock and also printed using vegan inks and sustainably sourced components including organic cotton
secret letterbox surprise:
i do not print anything at home because i cannot guarantee or confirm that any at home printer ink i would use would be eco friendly and without animal byproducts. the only way i can verify this is by outsourcing from companies that explicitly state they print using vegan inks and by asking that question directly to those that don’t. also the letters, envelopes, bags and stickers are a combination of recycled, recyclable, biodegradable and sustainably sourced paper. yes it costs more to do it this way but it is super important to me that everything i make is as ethically cohesive as possible and i sleep better at night knowing i tried. so if you send out a mail club or make cool stuff too and want to be more eco friendly then it is your lucky day sis because there is no gatekeeping here
