we’re loving
Tropicfeel’s Canyon HDry trainers.
Come for: Extremely waterproof footwear designed for anyone who HATES getting their feet wet when it’s raining!
Stay for: The fact that these trainers are not only waterproof, comfortable and lightweight but they’re also sustainable - the outside of the shoe is made from 100% recycled materials.
Recommended by Kate, who is DONE with the rain seeping in through her “breathable” Nikes.
ALIGNE - the London-based, female-run fashion brand.
Come for: Timeless pieces and statement staples crafted from planet-friendly materials.
Stay for: ALIGNE’s party edit, packed full of versatile items to see you through the festive socialising season and beyond. These practical-yet-elevated wide leg jeans are particularly great.
Recommended by Esther, who’s also eyeing up this leather jacket.
The London Sock Company.
Come for: A sartorial selection of super soft (and, yes, super luxurious!) socks which would make the perfect pressie for a man in your life.
Stay for: Getting incredibly organised with your festive shopping. We think the Sock Subscription Club would make an amazing gift - or this cosy cotton number.
Recommended by the whole team - because who doesn’t love a fancy pair of socks?!
Danish rainwear brand Rains.
Come for: A selection of wet-weather staples, from clothing to bags, which are perfect as we head into autumn.
Stay for: These cargo rain pants. No more sitting around all day in wet jeans? Revolutionary.
Recommended by Lily, who made it through several rainy Glastos thanks to her Rains jacket!
This (pretty strange looking!) travel pillow.
Come for: A bizarre but brilliant travel pillow that can be moulded to fit the space you’re in - whether that’s on a train, plane or at home on the sofa!
Stay for: Guaranteed snoozing when on the go.
Recommended by Belle, who is terrible at sleeping on planes (and has her eyes on this autumn-appropriate terracotta version).
Rent the Runway.
Come for: A platform which enables fashion lovers to rent designer styles at a fraction of their original price.
Stay for: Playing your part in the circular economy by borrowing pre-loved outfits (like this Ganni mini dress) or these Oscar de la Renta earrings) - rather than buying new.
Recommended by Lynn, who recently rented this Hemant & Nandita “aroha” dress - and got a load of compliments on it!
Wecandoo - a platform for aspiring artists!
Come for: Opportunities to elevate your craft game - from discovering the ancient art of stone carving to creating your own bonsai terrarium.
Stay for: Perfect hen or stag do inspo if you’re looking to plan something out-of-the-box for a friend or family member.
Recommended by Belle, who loves the look of this scented candle-making session, particularly as we head towards gift-giving season!
Come for: A stunning collection of planet-conscious dresses, designed in collaboration with the award-winning actor.
Stay for: The fact that these gorgeous outfits are made from deadstock fabrics, organic cotton and recycled materials.
Recommended by Lily, who has her eyes on the London-made Larsen Dress as it’s perfect wedding guest attire!
The Every - the vegan haircare brand.
Come for: Sulphate and paraben-free shampoo and conditioner to help you through that inevitable autumn and winter dryness.
Stay for: The knowledge that all packaging material is minimalised in a bid to cut the brand’s carbon footprint.
Recommended by Esther, who could definitely do with The Every’s volume infusion.
BOLDR, the home heating company.
Come for: A collection of cutting-edge electric heaters to help you stay warm, lower your energy bills and live sustainably this winter.
Stay for: The accompanying BOLDR app, which allows you to control your heating via your phone.
Recommended by Kate, who absolutely hates being cold and has been looking for a relatively eco-friendly way to keep the heating on…
