OUR BACKGROUND
With roots in environmentalism, manufacturing and importing the finest materials into the UK we are creating a movement of true sustainable values.
Our journey began with a simple yet powerful idea: to curate the best and most innovative eco-friendly fabrics from around the globe and manufacture garments here in the UK.
GLOBAL EXPLORATION, MADE LOCAL
We scour the world for fabrics that tell a story – materials that embody innovation, eco-consciousness, and uncompromising quality.
Once discovered, these fabrics make their way to the heart of our operations in the UK, where skilled hands meticulously transform them into white label garments that bear the mark of both global exploration and local craftsmanship.

OUR FABRICS
We currently stock OceanBlend fabric, 185gsm and contains 30% Lyocel SeaCell and 70% Australian Super Cotton. The fibres were spun and blended in Manchester to create yarn which was then knitted and dyed in Leicester.
The fabric is highly luxurious and of superior quality, which helps to create one of the most luxurious T-shirts ever made.

OCEANBLEND UK MADE FABRIC
In the heart of the North of England, yarn spins once again, reviving a tradition that once made this region the epicenter of the global textile industry. English Fine Cottons, based in Manchester, leads this resurgence with a cutting-edge cotton mill boasting state-of-the-art technology.
A blend of SeaCell and Australian 'Super' Cotton, a pioneering blend that marks the first of its kind to be manufactured in the UK. This unique collaboration stands as a testament to our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and the rich heritage of textile production in the North of England.
FULLY TRACEABLE COTTON
With a commitment to transparency and sustainability, we sourced carbon-neutral Australian 'Super' Cotton, from Queensland, Australia.
The cotton is grown to minimise the use of pesticides, enhance biodiversity, and reduce water consumption.
Every step of our cotton's journey is meticulously traced. The journey begins at the farmer's paddock, ensuring ethical farming practices and equitable benefits for all involved in the production process.
LYOCELL SEACELL™
Lyocell SeaCell™ represents a new era in sustainable textiles, crafted from renewable organic resources—a harmonious blend of wood pulp and seaweed spun into a remarkable fiber.
Produced within a closed-loop production process, SeaCell™ embodies the principles of sustainability by minimising waste and energy consumption at every stage of its creation.
Through a patented process, SeaCell™ retains the inherent goodness of seaweed, including vitamins, trace elements, amino acids, and minerals, making it not just eco-friendly but also nourishing for the skin. What's more, SeaCell™ is 100% biodegradable, ensuring a minimal environmental footprint.
Certified by EU-Ecolabel and OEKO-Tex 100 standard, SeaCell™ offering consumers a conscious choice for a greener, healthier future.
ICELANDIC SEAWEED: THE ESSENCE OF OUR FABRIC
Our fabric harnesses the power of Ascophyllum Nodosum, a brown seaweed harvested from the cold and pure fjords of Iceland. Nestled amidst steep mountainous slopes, these pristine estuaries provide a natural sanctuary for diverse marine life.
Harvested once every four years, the seaweed undergoes a natural drying process, preserving its integrity and purity.
After harvesting, the seaweed embarks on a journey to Germany, where it is meticulously blended with wood pulp to create the final fibers of SeaCell™. Offering a truly eco-friendly and luxurious textile solution.
EUCALYPTUS & SPRUCE WOOD PULP
The wood pulp originates from responsibly managed FSC® Mix and FSC® controlled Eucalyptus and Spruce forests.
Sourced from South Africa and the Czech Republic, these forests adhere to strict sustainability standards, ensuring the preservation of natural habitats and ecosystems.
KNITTED IN LEICESTER UK
Our fabric comes to life in Leicester, championing local craftsmanship and tradition.
Efficiency and sustainability are core to our manufacturing, resulting in minimal energy usage throughout the production process. This dedication to sustainability echoes our own commitment to reducing environmental impact and supporting local economies.
