Ethics & Sustainability
We respect you and your privacy, and won't share your details with anyone.
We are a small business and most of our suppliers are small or family run businesses or charities based in the UK.
Brixton is close to my heart, and a part of London where I felt most at home. We donate profits from all our Brixton prints to the Brixton & Norwood food bank.
We make a monthly donation to Trees for the Future. Planting trees provides families with more than just food. It provides income, empowerment, unity, leadership, education and even saves lives. Every year, over 30 million trees are felled intentionally and by natural causes. Trees For The Future is a non-profit organisation that has planted 200 million trees.
We are working towards making all our packaging sustainable and environmentally friendly.
