As textile designers we love fabrics and hate to see any going to waste.
We work hard to minimise waste in our production process and endeavour to use our textile by-products in creative ways.
Our scarves are woven with a selvedge running down either side of the fabric. The selvedge stabilises the fabric while in loom and when it is washed. When processing the scarves, the selvedge is cut off; we use these as gift-wrapping and in our Braid Bundles.
You will also spot our selvedge braids used in our collection of pouches and purses made in collaboration with Italian designer Luisa Cevese.
When weaving our products, there is always a short length of extra fabric woven at either end of the roll; this is to protect the scarves and throws during the finishing process when the fabric is washed.
When the fabric rolls return to the workroom to be processed by Andrea and her team at the mill, the additional fabric is cut off. We don’t believe that any fabric should go to waste and so we work hard to create new items from these remnants.
This can sometimes look like creating exciting new products. Recently you will have seen these in the form of our one-off cushions, block fabric purses, silk ties, our dining collection, and our flock of chickens that were released as limited-edition Easter project in Easter 2025.
Our range of ReWeave cushions, which were created in collaboration with Hastings based design studio ReWeave, use remnants from our ever-popular Block collection of throws and cushions to create a patchwork of felted cushions.
Other times we use these remnants to create our Offcuts Bags so that you can create craft projects at home.
