I know it can feel overwhelming at times, but whatever stage you’re at in your sustainable journey, there are ways I can help you.

Knowing about the human and environmental impact of the fashion industry, combined with over a decade spent working in knitwear with clients including Christopher Kane, Jasper Conran and House of Holland, I wanted to use my skills to create a business that values both people and planet.

At Collingwood-Norris I know that you want to make a difference to the environment while looking great. In order to do that you need reduce consumption and make considered choices. The problem is you’re lost in a sea of greenwashing which makes you feel overwhelmed and distrustful. I believe everyone deserves to buy sustainably with confidence, and I understand that you might not know where to start. Collingwood-Norris can provide you with the mending skills you need to care for your knitwear to make it last with style, and handmade knitwear gives you the option to buy new when necessary knowing exactly where your knitwear is made, and by whom.

Here’s how to do it:

1.     Choose what you need: learn to mend or invest with care

2.     Buy only what you need: mending guides and materials, or knitwear made with love

3.     Take pride in wearing your sustainable colourful knitwear again and again.
