Product tags and labels are a great way to communicate to customers your commitment to working within the fibreshed system. We have seen a growing number of customers looking for locally grown materials, and our logo is a great way to verify your work. Eligible products only.
For project work, research or collaborations related to strengthening the fibreshed model of production within the South West. Open to members of 6 months or more.
Please check you meet at least one of our eligibility criteria before getting in touch. Everyone is at different stages of their regenerative journey, but we all share a commitment to producing and designing with practices that nourish people and planet.
Note: We have based these exceptions on our knowledge of the textile and fibre industry in the South West and expect them to be under ongoing review.
