Y.O.U Loves: Our Top Sustainable Picks This Month

 Whether you’re shopping for Valentine’s Day gifts, looking out for an eco-friendly wardrobe update, or searching for independent brands, we’re here to help with the pieces we're loving this month. We’ve rounded up some of our favourite items from unique and sustainable businesses, which also make great gifts, for Valentine's Day or any other occasion. 

1. Amiguwooli Sheep Needle Felt Kit - The Makerss

Needle felting sheep mini kit

These cute mini kits from The Makerss make great gifts for Valentine’s day or any other celebration. Based in Gloucestershire, The Makerss team hand-pack these gorgeous needle felting kits using responsibly sourced British wool with easy to follow instructions to craft your own little sheep! If you haven’t done needle felting before then don’t worry - it’s an easy and therapeutic process, making it a perfect Valentine’s day idea.

2. Fairisle Beanie - Black & Beech

Our best friend during the cold winter months, we love Black & Beech’s feminist take on a classic fairisle wool hat. Knitted in Scotland from 100% merino wool, these beanies are super cosy and are available in a few different colour combinations. Black & Beech work to support independent and ethical crafters and donate 10% of their profits to feminist organisations, meaning you can stay warm while supporting the sisterhood!

3. Fire-Hose Zip Purse - Elvis & Kresse

One of our favourite pieces from the incredible brand redefining the luxury accessories industry, this purse is stylish and unique and makes a great Valentine’s gift for her. Working with the London fire service since 2005, Elvis & Kresse have rescued over 300 tonnes of decommissioned fire-hose to craft into their beautiful products, while donating 50% of profits to The Fire Fighters Charity.

4. Organic Cotton Matching Underwear Set - Y.O.U Underwear

Choose from our core colours or go bold with mara prints. Plus, with every purchase from our underwear and loungewear collection, we donate one pair of underwear through our Buy One Give One policy - spreading the positive power of pants!

5. Professor Hare Mini Craft Kit - Corinne Lapierre

The ultimate Valentine's gift for luxurious comfort, our unisex robe levels up lounging time with super soft mid-weight cotton fabric, long sleeves, internal ties to keep it in place, and generous pockets!  Throw on over your undies while getting dressed, wrap up warm with cosy pyjamas, or use as an easy cover up on the go.
