Handwoven Denim Flower Brooch created from offcuts (zero-waste!)

Beautiful accessories created by hand from our handwoven khadi denim offcuts

We hate anything to be wasted so we've commissioned the very talented Madge Hatter, who specialises in all things accessory, to make some ethical, traceable flower brooches using the left-over bits and bobs from our denim children's clothes collection.

All the fabrics used are hand spun, hand dyed and hand woven by ethically run co-operatives plus the dyes and the processes used are kind to the environment.

Each brooch comes with a traceability code.  This means you can find out how the fabrics were created and meet some of the people involved.  

Our handwoven flower brooches:

•      are created from 100% handwoven cotton denim - plastic free and vegan 
•    come in a choice of colour options made up of – bubblegum (turquoise), Toffee (brown), white and Sky Blue
•    are created from fabrics hand dyed with non toxic (azo-free dyes) using a low water/low carbon method
•    are completely made by hand so there may be little irregularities – each one is unique!

The cotton used in our brooches was spun and woven into cloth by hand - a fabric known as 'khadi' and promoted by Mahatma Gandhi to help create rural livelihoods, especially for women.  The skills used are traditional, going back generations.

All processes and materials are planet-friendly - low carbon, low water and with no harmful additives.

Each brooch has a code on the label so you can explore its life story and get to know the people and processes behind it.

Where Does It Come From is a registered social enterprise with a mission to:

• Create and support livelihoods and skills for marginalised and vulnerable people.
• Choose processes and materials that use significantly less carbon and water than standard production - such as traditional weaving and printing that are powered by hand or solar power.
• Share the stories behind our clothes so to help people have a better relationship with their clothes (and choose wisely in future!)
