   Some very cool bags by Davida. We love this companies ethical policy, a pleasantly welcome set of principles yet still managing to produce very beautiful products.

   

   Quote from the company:

   “Created in 2006 Design by Davida is a new accessories company producing beautiful and stylish handmade leather bags and sheepskin slippers.

   The leather we source is from small companies that have received certificates of commendation for their successful efforts of removing harmful chemicals from their process of producing leather, and they contain no dyes. All our leather and fur-on-hide is taken from animals bred for consumption and we only use cow-hide and sheep-skin.

   Our eco-chic range, created in response to the rising awareness of the environment by fashion conscious people, provides a stylish range of both classic and contemporary accessories made in cork.

   Everyone knows how important their bag is, and that is something we at Design by Davida understand perfectly. Our range of stylish, eco-chic bags will help you to survive another hectic day of work or play.”

6. Bamboo tshirts

   BAMBOO is the most beautiful of the sustainable fabrics. Knitted from bamboo yarn, it is almost translucent, and has a natural quality that feels like silk. It prints perfectly and is a perfect canvas for your designs.

8. True Focus

   7:43 am Leave a Comment

   

   This weeks blast from the past features True Focus, a brand that truly
   was focussed before it’s time. Years back before increased car tax on
   4×4’s, back when you thought a carbon footprint meant you’d been getting
   the coal in, back when every shed had a sledge, True Focus were telling
   us that only dinosaurs drove big cars…..and politicians of course.

9. Nexus Bloom

   7:37 am Leave a Comment

   

   Every range needs and angle, and although it may or
   may not have been deliberate, the great thing about Nexus Bloom is, well
   it’s weird. With designs featuring a pig butchering a man, a crazy
   looking businessman character, a touch of cruxifiction and this falling
   woman, however you feel about it, you will feel about it – and that’s
   what it’s all about.

12. Launch of Feral organic t’s

    7:06 pm Leave a Comment

    Next week sees the catwalk launch of Feral’s new organic range of T-shirts. In attempt to heighten awareness around climate change, they have used wearable graphics rather than predictable slogans to subtly enforce the message – an angler fish with a low energy light bulb to guide its way, obvious really. Look out for the polar bear¬â€ two colour sleeve logo.
