ElephantBranded is based on a simple idea. For every one of its ethically-made, recycled bag or related product it sells it gives an ergonomically-designed schoolbag and kit to a child in Africa or Asia. It pays a fair, competitive wage to local villagers who make its bags out of locally sourced, recycled materials.
The Thoughtful Bread Company uses the most seasonal and locally-sourced or foraged ingredients, fresh each and every day to bake its loaves. Each loaf is hand-rolled and individual in character and is produced using extended proving periods.
The firm adheres strongly to an environmentally-friendly and ethical approach to business.
