Why eco school uniforms matter

Reducing waste and protecting the planet
By using recycled and responsibly sourced fabrics, our garments help reduce landfill waste and the need for resource-intensive new materials. Every piece is designed to last longer, wash better and wear smarter, which means less waste over time.

Ethically produced from start to finish
Our manufacturing partners follow strict ethical trading standards. That includes no child or forced labour, safe working conditions, fair wages with reasonable hours, equal opportunities for all workers and respect throughout the supply chain.

Sustainable materials, built to last
We prioritise high-quality recycled polyester and responsibly sourced cotton blends that withstand daily school life, from playground to classroom, while keeping a smart appearance wash after wash.

Popular eco friendly choices include our Pull-Up Trousers for easy dressing and all-day comfort, and our Girls’ School Shirts made from easy-care fabrics that stay crisp and smart.

Make the switch in simple steps

  • Choose eco fabrics such as recycled polyester or responsibly sourced cotton.
  • Invest in quality for longer wear and better value over time.
  • Reuse and recycle by passing on good-condition uniform to siblings or school schemes.
  • Buy consciously, prioritising ethical production and sustainability.
  • Start small. Even one or two eco swaps make a real difference.
