Verry Kerry
Warmer mornings call for sultry chic loungewear and we're loving this kimono style dressing gown by Very Kerry at ethical.market. Made by fairly paid Indian artisans in a family run factory, this organic bamboo number hangs beautifully. Perfect for wafting round Ibiza - or your kitchen.
Xandra Jane
His and hers is so last century. Embracing all things fluid is sustainably minded, non-gender fashion brand Xandra Jane. Based in Cardiff, you can trace each item's journey through the UK, many things have been upcycled. This lightweight gingham backpack is a must for summer, whoever you are.
Recover
US brand Recover has hit the bottle. Eight in fact. Each eco-friendly T-shirt is made with eight recycled plastic bottles in a process that uses less water and energy than traditional manufacturing. There's a range of T-shirts, hoodies and bags for guys and girls. We love their commitment to all things parks.
Green People
Organic beauty veteran Green People has introduced a new Damask rose range, that includes this superbly soft cleanser that will wipe away urban grime. Traditional Rose Otto oil is mixed with Shea butter, rosemary and calendula for an eco take on summer beauty.
Funky Kalakar
We're suckers for a new summer bag especially one that's handworked leather with a beautiful tree motif. Funky Kalakar brings back ancient Indian and Asian artistic forms, pays the artisans properly and sells through online store ethical.market so you can indulge guilt-free.
Ishga
Scottish organic seaweed skincare brand Ishga has won awards for its male and female ranges that are packed full of anti-oxidants, Hebridean water and pure Hebridean salt. Seaweed helps tighten and tone the skin and stimulate blood and lymph circulation - we love this fab marine face cream.
I Love Gurus
In need of new flip flops for the summer? I Love Gurus uniquely designed shoes are made from sustainably sourced rubber and inspired by an ancient Indian shoe design. Even the packaging is eco-friendly and each purchase pays to plant a tree. Oh and they come in a multitude of colours.
