Banyan

At Banyan, we create eco friendly and ethical products made from an amazing, versatile, renewable resource: Bamboo. Bamboo fibre is softer than the softest cotton, has a natural sheen to the surface and feels similar to silk or cashmere yet durable. We show case products that we use everyday such as T shirts, Socks and towel. We don't like anyone being abused and it's definitely not going to happen on our watch. Both our responsibility and our partners' role in the community are important to us. The workforce is stable and loyal, with very low staff turnover. We believe one simple act at a time and multiplied by many times, can make all the difference.

Fifteen Trees

Fifteen Trees can help you reduce your carbon footprint by planting trees on your behalf.

The trees are all natives and indigenous to their region. They are distributed to community and environmental groups for planting. These trees are not only absorbing the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, but they are also providing native wildlife with habitat, creating green corridors and helping to reverse the effects of erosion and rising water tables. The trees are purchased from local independent native nurseries.

Once planted you will be able to view your trees and read the comments by those who have planted them via the Fifteen Trees website.

Uma Organics

Uma Organics is the brainchild of two friends, Stephen & Matt who were eager to get out of their day jobs and into doing something that helped the world with a sustainable solution to the old health and environmental problems.

What began as a mild interest in sustainable textiles quickly became an obsession with high quality linens that were luxurious, sustainable, organic and most importantly traded in a way that was fair from the end consumer all the way back to the cotton farmer.

Uma Organics is not only committed to only manufacturing their beautiful range with certified organic cotton products, but they are also committed to using Fair Trade practices and they therefore source the purest organic cotton from some of the poorest parts of India, which in turn gives the local people, ethical and also importantly 'humane' employment. All Uma Organic's certified organic cotton bedding and products are made to the highest standard and wash and wear beautifully.
