Saywood launched in October 2020, creating colourful, wearable everyday essentials - the staples beyond the classics, with people at the heart of the brand. Harriet was keen to prove that it is possible to work responsibly and fairly with a supply chain, creating items without an excessive price tag. Having worked in fashion for over ten years, Harriet has seen how slow the fashion industry has been to change to a more sustainable and ethical model. She has established a breadth of experience in sourcing and building relationships with factories, and with this an understanding of the wider supply chain and processes behind each aspect of product development, from raw materials, to garment manufacture, to better environmental practises; for example, Saywood work with mills focused on driving change, such as significant water and chemical reduction and reuse, renewable energies and those that source their raw materials ethically. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/saywood.studio/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">@saywood.studio</a><a href="https://saywoodstudio.co.uk/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.saywoodstudio.co.uk</a>Lydia BoltonFounder Lydia Bolton created her namesake brand in 2019 at the age of just 25, when she felt a responsibility to create fashion in a way that didn’t harm the environment. Using secondhand clothing sourced from thrift stores and unsellable items in charity shop, Lydia painstakingly unpicks unwanted garments before choosing which fabrics to reconstruct into innovative new patterns. She then creates each of her bespoke designs by hand, at her home studio in North London By preventing clothes from going to landfill, Lydia aims to be a catalyst for change in the fashion industry. Zero waste is at the heart of everything her brand creates from the packaging to patch-working scraps together, and as a force for good it focuses on finding solutions for mass fashion consumption.With the mission of deconstructing disposable culture, LYDIA BOLTON brings style-conscious women chic separates that subvert the norms of sustainability. Bolton started off 2021 with a collaboration with Reebok where she taught a Starting Sustainable Lesson as part of their Write You Legacy Campaign. She has also been featured on WGSN, the leading trend forecasting platform, as an influencer to watch. In 2020, Bolton was featured in Miss Vogue as a Girl on a Mission, in Euro News as a designer fighting waste and did a collaboration with NICCE where she create a collection from their dead-stock clothing.<a href="https://www.lydiabolton.co.uk/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.lydiabolton.co.uk/</a>
