Natural Steps & Sustainability
I worked really hard for about a year developing this second Tugu Titoune collection. Every product is handmade here in Hossegor with my hand-designed print fabrics, for little explorers and big adventures!
The collection is called "Natural Steps", and there are 3 reasons why:
​
1. The collection is designed for babies and little explorers from 0-5 years as they take their first real walking steps, and plenty more natural steps into the wonderful world of being an adventurous toddler.
​
2. I'm beginning to take some challenging but natural steps towards slowly growing Tugu Titoune and reaching more customers.
​
The Most Important Step
​
3. Tugu Titoune is taking a lot of little natural steps towards become a sustainable and eco-friendly business. As a small handmade brand with custom print fabric, this can be very expensive, restrictive, and difficult to do! This year I've taken the first few steps, and I will continue improving the sustainability of Tugu Titoune until it's as eco-friendly and nature loving as possible!​ So far:
​
-
For almost all products, I use only natural plant based fabrics such as cotton, linen, and bamboo, and natural woods such as beech. All of these materials are sourced within Europe.
​
-
Tugu Titoune fabrics are printed in a studio in England using reactive inks. This process uses less chemicals, water, and waste than other traditional printing methods. They also recycle the fabric cut-offs!
​
-
All paper labels and business cards are printed on recycled paper in England. All cotton labels are organic.
​
-
As much packaging as possible is recycled/recyclable and re-used/re-usable. For example, the bibs and swaddles are wrapped in re-usable Kraft paper food bags, great for storing toddler snacks!
​​
-
Every single product is handmade in my little seaside house in Hossegor France. No factories, no shipping containers, no hiding!
