Why Buy British?
[full] [/full] Britain is one of the leading countries in the world in terms of innovative fashion design but try to find clothing that has also been manufactured in Britain and you have a much trickier task on your hands! Around 90% of clothing that we buy in Britain is outsourced when it comes to production in order to cut costs as much as possible. Prices on the high-street are becoming more and more competitive but at the sacrifice of sustainability and the quality of the garments produced. The market has become saturated with clothes that are quick and cheap but often at a high cost to the environment and the living standards of the workers that make it. [full] [/full] As shoppers, we are now starting to do a bit more background research into the retailers or manufacturers that we buy our clothes from in order to find out where the garments are made, who makes them and whether we can classify the brand as Ethical. For a brand to be considered Ethical it must satisfy at least one of the following criteria: building communities, developing fair trade preserving craftsmanship and artisan skills, addressing climate change challenges, preserving natural resources, removing waste or advancing animal welfare. According to The Guardian, the purchase of ethical and locally manufactured products is on the rise which means that more and more people are discovering the exciting revival of British manufacturing. Buying British clothing has many advantages, you are buying into a company that can offer complete transparency on the manufacturing of the product which in turn creates trust and loyalty between consumer and brand. Another advantage is that repairs and special requirements are much easier to facilitate which reduces the textile waste that can mount up when damaged garments are often thrown away and replaced. At Peregrine we have been manufacturing Knitwear and Coats for the last 200 years right here in the UK. Not only does that mean we know what we are doing but it also means that we have a really special relationship with our manufacturer and all of our clothing is made lovingly and expertly. Buying more British-made clothing cuts out the middle man when it comes to making ethical decisions about your wardrobe. The term ‘British-made’ in the textile industry is also synonymous with a quality, charm and heritage that is difficult to find elsewhere so you can be certain you are getting your money’s worth!
Regenerative Wool Collection
Our British wool is now made with wool sourced from UK regenerative farms. 2022 marked the start of the journey with 20% of our British Wool collection coming from a transitional regenerative farm, located near Rye in East Sussex. In 2023 we have increased this and will do so for the next five years, until we can say 100% of our British Wool comes from transitional regenerative farms. Being a made in England brand we wanted to start this journey by sourcing our regenerative wool from our own back garden to help mitigate carbon emissions and support local farmers.
Earth Day 2022- Peregrine: Traceable and Transparent
Earth Day: 22.04.22 Earth Day raises awareness about the health of our planet. It is a day to discuss, question and march for this amazing place that we get to call home. Starting in 1970 Earth Day has worked to ‘diversify, educate and activate the environmental movement’. Here at Peregrine, we are passionate about forging a way for a bright and green future. In light of Earth Day, we wanted to be fully transparent and share our practices and how we work and are working, to be as sustainable as possible. Of course, Peregrine understands that it is not perfect, but we are always developing new projects and ideas and hope one day we can be! Peregrine is proud to be able to talk about areas that have been developed so far, we hope that the fashion industry may learn from our findings and we can all work together for the better of our home planet- before it is too late. [columns] [column] [/column] [column] [/column] [/columns] Made in England We are one of the few brands left that manufacture 100% of our products in the UK. This means that not only do our products travel less but also that we get to support local communities and provide more British jobs. We work with Natural Fibres: No Plastics = Biodegradable Our wool and cotton are natural and pure. We do not mix our materials with any plastics such as Acrylic or elastic meaning that they will not exist for thousands of years like mixed material jumpers will. Our Cotton We use the highest quality organic cotton possible. Nilo Organic Cotton supports the Cotton For Life Initiative, the extra-long staple cotton (Giza 87 and Giza 45) are cultivated following organic guidelines, ennobled and dyed using GOT certified substances and in line with the Greenpeace, DETOX restricted substance list. British Wool We are so proud of our British Wool jumpers. Not only does British Wool make incredible, hardy, high-quality garments but the wool is a natural by-product of sheep raised here in the UK. We can trace our British wool back to the very farm it came from. In fact, our factory in Manchester is only 60 miles down the road. Quality and Buying to Last Here at Peregrine, we want to inspire you to buy to last. There are a few points to consider in this discussion; quality, style and price. Firstly being founded in 1796 we have over 200 years of experience and have complete control over our manufacturing process. This means that our quality has been tested and perfected and our products stand the test of time. We design in house and work to create simple, timeless pieces. From our lasting wool jumpers to our classic waxed jackets we aim for our products to never go out of style. Lastly, we aim to keep our clothing “affordable” for the luxury sustainable fabrics, UK manufacturing, fair wages and high quality that Peregrine stands by, we do not make anything cheap or disposable and never will. For the Future… We know we are not perfect and are working on projects such as; regenerative wool, recycling our offcuts into insulation for affordable homes and looking after and cultivating UK peat bogs to offset our carbon footprint, all to try and have as little effect on the environment as possible while still supplying you with high-quality responsible clothing.
