OUR VALUES
We’re guided by our motto ‘beads for good’ and in the spirit of this, we believe that small businesses have the power to, collectively, enforce big changes. Whilst each thing we do may seem small, we strive to do all we can to be a business for good. Here’s how we’re doing our bit!
MADE TO ORDER,
DESIGNED TO LAST
First and foremost, we design products to last. We won’t sacrifice on quality and if it’s not up to scratch, we won’t use it. We don’t mass produce: absolutely everthing is made to order meaning we have less waste. Any beads we’re no longer using are repurposed into DIY kits!
ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS PACKAGING
We’re proud to say we have all-paper, fully recyclable (and often recycled) packaging from sustainable UK suppliers. We absolutely hate excess packaging, so we’ve paired it right back to the minimum required to get your orders to you safely. Our demi-fine pieces come with a recycled cotton pouch that is perfect for storing your piece in to keep it safe. It’s also great for travelling! When you’re finished with it, this too can be recycled or composted. At present, we send our orders using Royal Mail’s collection service, meaning the postie that is already on their route will stop in to collect our parcels. This utilises existing resources and eliminates additional journeys - win, win!
SHOP LOCALLY
+ SUPPORT WOMEN
We buy our supplies locally whenever we can and get a large proportion of our beads from female run, UK based businesses. We also place bulk orders whenever we can to reduce the amount of deliveries required.
COMMUNITY
To us, using business for good means fostering a community and giving back. We’ve committed to donating at least 20% of our profits to charities and causes that are striving for change. Our plan is to work with one organisation every six months and help by donating our time, spreading awareness and, of course, the money you help us raise by shopping with us.
We also work hard to build strong relationships with our suppliers and like to think we go above and beyond for our customers - because without you, there is no us!
