Mpira Upcycled Denim Jackets, £125
The newly opened Mpira in Richmond sells luxurious, well-designed pieces of clothing and homeware from upcycled and recycled waste from five grassroots Kenyan organisations, providing jobs to local communities while preventing refuse from going into landfill. We love their Shake the Tree jackets. A team of Kenyan women scout for denim and khaki cotton jackets and shirts, which they wash, dry in the sun and iron, and then add beautiful cotton fabrics to the waistbands, the cuffs and the collars.

Breaking boundaries with every bottle – ånd fragrance was born from the idea that smelling good and doing good can – and should – go hand in hand. Proudly partnering with the local, indigenous communities and cooperatives who grow and produce them. Inspired by the old Norse word meaning ’Spirit’ and ‘Breathe’, ånd was born with the mission to unstink the world, one powerful scent at a time. From sourcing Sandalwood from Aboriginal-owned trees to using Vanilla direct from agroforestry projects in Madagascar, each fragrance is an ode to the bounty of Mother Earth, crafted with only the finest, most ethical ingredients, while also highlighting – and actively helping – a different social cause. Entirely hand-made, cruelty-free and vegan, and feature bottle caps made from repurposed problem waste plastic to minimise their footprint.
