Materials

Beautiful materials. Carefully layered.

Handmade in Wiltshire and designed in the Cotswolds, our covers bring together outer fabrics, insulation and lining. We consider how each layer feels and works as part of the finished cover.

Natural rubber forms the bottle inside. The covers are made in Britain; the bottles are not.

Brilliant bamboo

The planet's fastest growing plant, bamboo is a fantastic natural material. It’s renewable, biodegradable, durable and naturally antibacterial – which means it rarely needs a wash, boosting its eco credentials.

We use bamboo in our wadding and as a cover material.

If Pandas love it, it must be good!

Recycled Fabrics

The creation of textiles and fabrics relies heavily on natural resources, and particularly, water. Which is why we only use recycled fabrics, such as recycled faux fur.

The only challenge is that recycled fabrics is less readily available and so it comes at a premium.

Innovative Materials

With the growing move to sustainability new innovative materials are being developed, such as the teddy fabric we use which is made from recycled plastic bottles. We are constantly looking for new materials to use for future covers.

Sustainable Packaging

All of our packaging has been carefully selected to be as sustainable as possible.
