Feather Drum

Feather Drum offers a beautifully crafted and curated collection of future classics for women and girls. Founded by Kelly-Lee Wright, we are focused on producing timeless and well-made pieces featuring high-quality natural fabrics (organic or recycled wherever possible).

Created and patterned in Australia, the designs are thoughtful and considered, to ensure the fit and that they will last season after season, lessening the environmental impacts associated with fast fashion.

Feather Drum chooses to partner only with makers who carry the GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification and demonstrate socially sustainable practices.

Founded by Designer Anna Westcott in September 2016, ANEAU products are consciously designed and made to last.

Wild 4 Straws

Founded by two Gen-Ys, Wild 4 Straws was created with two simple goals in mind; to help establish a cleaner environment which protects our wildlife and sea life, and lead our fellow humans to the eco-friendly, safe alternative and exceptionally stylish, bamboo straw. 

In 2018 a worldwide movement began to ban the plastic straw. Cities and corporations all over the world jumped on the ‘ban the straw’ bandwagon, offering the paper straw as an alternative. Although the paper straw is a solution that addresses the environmental issues, it has its downside. Paper straws are not reusable, they lose their integrity with some liquids and are not suitable for warm/hot liquids. 

Our research provided evidence that there are over 150 million tonnes of plastic in the ocean already which increases by a garbage truck full by the minute. Plastic takes centuries for this waste to decompose, so we looked for an alternative that would easily biodegrade, add nutrients to the soil and is a functional replacement. The solution we found was the bamboo straw.
