CREATION: 887 CHARLY JACOBS - Founder Of URI I h CREATION: 887 CHARLY JACOBS - Founder Of URI I have been so lucky to have had the opportunity to mentor Charly for around 5 years now. We first worked together at Blackhorse Lane Ateliers on a selvedge denim allotment concept and just hit it off. We have similar thinking around design being circular and doing social good. And you can also be a nice, kind and caring person and still succeed. Charly has grown as a founder of Uri and has created a community of all women growing abbaca banana plant from seed to fibre on her family farm in the Phillippines. Profits go back into these communities, which are led by the elders of indigenous tribes, who are training up the new generations. It's truly a beautiful story. They have the most amazing hand skills inspired by traditional weaving techniques. I purchased two black bags today as gifts. This brand is very special. Watch it fly. β™‘

CREATION 884: CHRIS DAWSON ~ CLEARSPRING This is CREATION 884: CHRIS DAWSON ~ CLEARSPRING This is Christopher Dawson, the owner and Chairman of Clearspring Organic & Authentic fine foods. We spent the day with Christopher in Kew gardens on Sunday and have a huge admiration for what he has achieved for the Organic food industry. Born in Opunake, Taranaki, NZ Chris felt a strong personal reaction to the Vietnam War and decided a better form of world peace could be achieved through organic farming. Chris helped to pioneer the organic food movement in Japan. No small accomplishment for a non-Japanese person. He received a special award from the Japanese prime minister and ministry of food & agriculture. πŸ… πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅ We love Clearspring products β™‘ @clearspringuk @clearspring_jp @soilassociation
CREATION 883 CAMPAIGN FOR WOOL NZ I rarely put m CREATION 883 CAMPAIGN FOR WOOL NZ I rarely put my face into the digital realm as I prefer working quietly in the background... But I will do for really important causes. The Campaign For Wool is a really important cause. Especially in NZ, which has such a cultural, physical and integral landscape of the most wonderful sheep.... 25.3M πŸ‘ Am super proud and honoured to be an Ambassador of the Campaign For Wool NZ, but as a NZ citizen, and someone who cares deeply about the planet, I'm sadly not super proud of a NZ government who decides to spend millions of dollars $ installing synthetic carpet through more than 600 schools. Unbelievable? Yep. But sadly true. Most of the clip in NZ is strong wool which is perfect for carpets. There are endless reasons why wool is better for the end user than synthetics. The NZ gov has also initiated a new organisation Wool Impact NZ to drive the sector forward. It's dynamic CEO Andy Caughey says the logic to install synthetic carpet "just does not make sense" Synthetic carpets contribute to microplastic fibres in our homes among other bad environmental impacts yet Wool is warmer, flame resistant and naturally hypoallergenic. 99% of the people reading my instagram posts are on the wool side... but collectively we can all still make a difference with our voice... πŸ™πŸ» @nzcampaignforwool β™‘ πŸ‘ @campaignforwool β™‘ πŸ‘
CREATION 882 β™‘ Rhydymain Show, North Wales. As CREATION 882 β™‘ Rhydymain Show, North Wales. As an Amvassador for the Campaign For Wool NZ, I have always dreamed of observing a best in class hand shearing competition. πŸ‘ Yesterday, thanks to the kindness of @romyshovelton who campaigns for the preservation of endangered Wild Camels 🐫πŸͺ, my dream came true in my home country of Nortb Wales. I stood in awe watching the skilled master clippers hold their sheep with such love and care and the sound of the shearers shears gently clipping the wool was magical. I thought of my friend Harry in NZ who does so much to promote the layers of the NZ wool industry @harrywere I doubt any oil magnate will be reading this but...... just in case Wool jumpers, wool mittens, wool scarves, wool beanies, wool suits, wool carpets, wool mask filters, wool everything... is so much better for us and our planet than cheaper synthetic substitutes ... β™‘ @campaignforwool

CREATION 880 CORAM Children's Charity ❀ I foun CREATION 880 CORAM Children's Charity ❀ I found myself in Bloomsbury on a care mission and discovered by chance the biggest example of care you could ever wish to find. Since 1739, Coram have been the first and longest charity for children. I only wish I could make this new phone add additional images. I rarely buy new stuff and after 12 yrs with my old phone it was time. If you are ever in Bloomsbury please pop in to see Coram's free little exhibition.... It's so heart warming. And such vitally important work. πŸ‘πŸ»
