About Us and How to Support What We Do
Our vision
We want to welcome you to a special destination where every purchase supports social justice causes, preserves traditional cultures through artisan-made items, and remains kind to the Earth. Our mission is encapsulated in three words: Just, Circular, and Slow.
Just: We focus on social justice, ensuring that our business practices uplift and support those in need.
Circular: We embrace mending, upcycling and use natural, non-toxic, biodegradable fibers to minimize waste.
Slow: We advocate for artisan-made products, celebrating the craftsmanship and tradition behind each item.
We also want to Introduce you to our new YouTube channel, Just, Circular, and Slow! Subscribe to stay updated on our latest projects and adventures.
We aim to foster a culture of buying less, buying better, and making it last. Our ongoing book clubs and mending days will help us stay connected and inspire a lifestyle that is kind to yourself, others, and the planet.
Operating from a home studio allows us to offer the best Fair Trade products at fair prices without the need to mark up for overhead costs. We believe Fair Trade should be the standard in business, not charity. Our goal has always been to prove that ethical, sustainable business practices are not only possible but essential to create the kind of world we want.
Key things to know :
- Our new studio shop is at 20 Robb St, Belmont NSW.
