All products are made either in their workshop in Kent, UK or at their own manufacturing site in Istanbul, Turkey. All our staff are paid very well. They don’t accept any sort of discrimination in the workplace and do not believe in treating anyone unfairly.
Sustainable Materials
All products are made from reclaimed materials that were otherwise destined for landfill.Their first line was made with genuine decommissioned British fire-hose that they collected from various Fire Brigades across the UK. They now incorporate many other reclaimed materials into their collections, most noticeably leather and printing blanket.
