Sustainability

As a brand we are committed to constantly furthering our sustainability - both from an environmental and social angle. We are always seeking new ways to make our brand more planet friendly, we know we aren't perfect but we are always learning and adapting.

PRODUCTION

We work closely with several small dedicated factories, ensuring that our products are manufactured in the same country as our raw materials, components and packaging, to minimise carbon output.

We manufacture small runs of products, making sure we do not over produce. This means sometimes products can sell out and you have to wait a while for them to come back into stock, but it is important to us that we only produce what we can sell.

We only work with SEDEX certified suppliers, ensuring a high manufacturing ethical workforce as standard.

PACKAGING

All our consumer packaging is either fully compostable and / or recyclable - from our luxe gift wrapping boxes all the way down to the protective packaging our bags are transported in and the paper mailer you received your order in.

MATERIALS

All our styles are made from certified recycled materials and are REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals) complaint - this means our materials and trims are non-toxic and free from harmful chemicals.

Our polyester styles and linings are rPET, meaning they are made from post consumer plastic waste and recycled yarns, giving ‘landfill’ a new life. This reduces the production of virgin raw materials and reduces the consumption of water, energy and natural resources.

REPAIR AND RESTORE

While all T+M products are made to last, wear & tear over time from frequent use is to be expected.

Our dedicated in-house T+M atelier will be able to restore and repair your items, so that they can last for as long as possible - supporting circularity and sustainability. You can read more about our repair service and what repairs are possible here.

We want to support you in taking proper care of your products so you can find our T+M BAG CARE guide here.

RESELL

We have our own T+M PRELOVED section on our website, allowing customers to resell their bags through our official channel, and offering the chance for new customers to shop secondhand, furthering our commitment to sustainability and circularity.

You can shop our Preloved selection here

DONATE

We partner with Little Village, donating bags and accessories throughout the year. You can read about the valuable work they do here.

If you no longer need your T+M bag and would like to pass it along to someone who would, you can find details on how to donate to their country wide baby banks here.

We also donate bags to local refugee charities and women's refuges.

If your bag has reached the end of its life you can send it back to us to be fully recycled with Terracycle.
