Case Studies
“We run a 'responsible' brand of bedding & sleepwear that has a manufacturing base in India, and although we cut our garments for minimum fabric waste, we do have tiny scraps that we knew could be made into smaller products, and we really hoped to produce these somewhere that had a social impact, but where to begin? I connected with Sara on Instagram, and as soon as we had our first 'investigative zoom' I knew she would be perfect, because like us, she is passionate about design details as well as being extremely knowledgeable in her field. From the first scoping document (itself a thing of visual beauty!), to the recent rounding off of stage one of our work together it has been a delight to work with Sara. We have sampled 6 items, have had delivery of the first finished product, and have just signed off on two more going into production. The quality of the workmanship is aligned with our design-led / built to last ethos, and having Sara steer us through every step has been like having another member of our team. A highly recommended investment for any brand looking to have social impact and produce beautiful things.”

“Sara was such a pleasure to work with. Extremely approachable and such a great listener. She genuinely listens and responds to your needs, and provides specific and helpful advice. Sara was flexible and adaptable through our working relationship, and went above and beyond, checking with progress and supporting my business. Her knowledge and experience was invaluable, and you can see how much she cares about not only being ethical in her own business but also helping others. I couldn't recommend Sara highly enough.”

“I worked with Sara on some initial research into factories that could support production of my brand earlier this year. I was so impressed with the service Sara provided that I asked her to continue to develop the project further. It was most important to me that the factories sourced were ethical with sustainable production practices. Sara understood my brief immediately, was incredibly knowledgeable about ethical production and completely professional throughout. She has sourced two potential factories for me and I couldn't be happier with the overall experience. It's been a pleasure to work with Sara and I would highly recommend her for similar projects.”

“I was becoming frustrated trying to find a new manufacturer to produce a new line for me that needed a certain skill set. I was given Sara's details and choosing to work with Sara was the best thing I did. She saved me a lot of time and effort. The process was made really simple from start to finish. She is calm and knows her stuff. The biggest benefit is she has lived and worked with small artisans in India, so her inside knowledge is priceless. Thanks again Sara, can't wait to do more with you.”

“I cannot recommend working with Sara highly enough, I wish I'd done it sooner! Not only are her skills in sourcing ethical manufacturers top notch but she is an absolute pleasure to work with. I'm excited about the future of my business thanks to the connections she has helped me to make and would work with her again in a heartbeat.”

“Sara was invaluable, I would not be where I am today with my brand without her. Her knowledge, experience and professionalism was incredible and meant I could leave the manufacturing sourcing in her capable hands whilst I dealt with a newborn and my business kept ticking away
I loved working with Sara and she went above and beyond to help and support me in launching my business and I now feel perfectly capable continuing the relationships with the factories she connected me with but also if in the future I need to find others, I feel I know what to look for and how to manage this process thanks to her guidance.”

“It’s been amazing having time working with Sara, she is really calming whilst enthusiastic about my idea, she is so knowledgeable and already has so many contacts in the ethical field which is invaluable.
I am already chatting with 3 manufacturers that Sara introduced me to and well on the way to receiving fabric samples from 2 of them. She helped advise what questions I should be asking and really fine-tuned her advice to my needs. I can clearly see the path ahead of me now. If you are working on an ethical brand and are stuck with the where to get your products made and can’t see the way forward, Sara is the perfect person to work with. I would highly recommend her. I play our conversations back to myself regularly as a pet talk if I get distracted and loose site of the next step. It’s like having a friend in your ear to chat to about everything.
I really feel that Sara is on my side and genuinely cares about me and the success of my brand. Thank you so much Sara. “

“It was an absolute joy working with Sara as I undertook a massive task to begin working direct with factories and to make jewellery in a more ethical and responsible fashion. Not only is Sara a font of knowledge who is always insightful and asking the key questions, she is a calming and reassuring presence to turn to during the process.
Her support during the six months was invaluable and Sara is still genuinely invested keeping in touch and checking in long after our sessions finished.
I value her knowledge, passion and integrity and trust her judgement and always looked forward to our sessions.”
