We wish you the best Christmas and New Year.. Christmas is a time to Pause and evaluate your business and life. Looking back and acknowledging our work, yet being present in the moment now for what's next. I find this time of year to be a great time to think, read and plan. I love this quote by Buckminster Fuller, his books are one of my inspirations ... take it into mind as you plan for your 2024...
''The purpose of our lives is to add value to the people of this generation and those that follow.'' R.Buckminster Fuller

The Ecosystem Incubator is a Dynamic space to come together and co-create the future of fashion, for micro brands and players from seed through to store and back again in circularity.
We are really proud of the innovations and collaborations that have started to flourish from the Incubator. Collaboration takes a long time, or it can be a fast coming together of visionary entities to create something that together makes way more clout. Join us and co-create with your specialism, brand, factory or fiber.
The Ecosystem is now creating or should I say co-creating its first collaborative brands, ideas and initiatives .
The above photo is showcasing our first collaborative brand Sanja Stories, This was featured in London Fashion Week on the Regeneration catwalk show created by Safia Minney and her team. We are inviting the customer to be a part of the journey and work with us on our first run... we are looking for you to create a pre-order so that we can buy the fabrication and then you will be asked to join the community.
The cool thing is that we are going to help you to customise that in the best way to keep the item in the natural cycle and not to add toxins to it, for both wear and for the eventual end. The design is made to encourage longevity featuring adjustable waist and length - as well as modular knees.

As a part of an Incubator collaboration we co-created The Hemp Harvest Retreat with Contemporary Hempery. Showing that not all business needs to be created with actual product. This experience was a lesson to us all in just how hard it is to gather a fiber from a plant, but also how enjoyable it is. The scent of the hemp was glorious as we stripped the leaves ready for drying. The next day learning how to beat and scutch the dried stems into fibers.
We wish them all the luck for next years harvest and hope to be back there.
Do you LOVE BIG COATS?
Our Love Big Coats collaboration has started to be noticed and you can order yours NOW ready for the winter months.
We have been testing them and really they are the warmest things ever, are great all year around for festivals through to freezing walks. We showcased at Blue Earth Summit, meeting IRL our collaborator Tent Share who gathers the sleeping bags from festival waste.
Thanks to all our Clients, Associates, Collaborators , Academy members, Ecosystem Members, new customers and Interns ..
We will see you in the new year for more Circular Collaborative Creation.
Rachel, Simon & Ken
