You can now demonstrate your support for Surrey Wildlife Trust and back a more ethical approach to fashion shopping by using our new online clothing store. It’s full of beautiful clothes for women, men, and children – all with original wildlife designs and subtle SWT branding.

We’ve developed the shop in partnership with Teemill, a UK-based ethical clothing company that is helping lead the way towards a circular economy, while minimising its environmental footprint.

All our products are made from sustainably produced 100% organic cotton in a wind-powered factory. And when you’ve worn them out, they are designed to be sent back to the supplier and re-purposed, instead of contributing to landfill. Many designs, including jumpers, T-shirts and hoodies, are made entirely of recycled materials. While this may sound like common sense, in fact it’s a radical move in an industry where 60% of conventional clothing is made from plastic and 99% is never recycled.

Instead of manufacturing in bulk, which can lead to unnecessary waste, each item is made and despatched to order – a process that takes a few days at most.

SWT membership manager Jennifer Mason explains:

“We want our members to be able to show their support in a practical way that delivers value for money and doesn’t harm the environment. By shopping with us you can boost a sustainable business, help increase SWT’s profile in the community and raise much-needed funds for our conservation work. We hope people of all ages will enjoy our bespoke designs, and we’d love to receive new ideas that reflect our work and the wildlife we treasure in Surrey.”
