Introducing our brand new tote bags featuring a design created by one of our brilliant in-house employees/artists Em (aka @lemonydoodles_). It features a classic Moka pot with some lovely flowers growing out of it... Two of our favorite things: Coffee and nature!!!
We've really wrestled with the idea of creating merch that's actually useful and not just manufactured marketing waste. We've spent a lot of time talking about it as a team, and decided to use merch both to support our brilliant community of artists, and hopefully to let you represent Skylark with cool designs and useful items.
We really did our research on suppliers and used TeeMill/Rapanui Clothing to print these totes- the best we could find by far in terms of environmental credentials and being forced labour free. They are committed to working with their partners to ensure the fair treatment of workers, safe conditions and fair pay- 3 things that are part of our ethos at Skylark. They do this by visiting the factories in person and making sure standards are being met. And as part of their GOTS certification, their supply chain is audited to ensure safe, positive and fair working conditions and pay.
Their products, like this tote bag, are made from natural materials such as organic cotton, in factories powered by renewable energy and are designed to be returned and remade when they're worn out. Rather than mass producing clothes speculatively, they print in real time, only making what people need when they need it.
We're really happy with how they have turned out, we hope you are too! :)
