As we are committed to the Slow Fashion Movement, some fabrics are kept in stock and others are handwoven to order.  All however, are transported by sea to leave a significantly smaller carbon footprint than sending by air, and to keep the cost down. When needed, an air shipment can be arranged and we encourage you then to consider a carbon offset donation to your preferred organisation.
