Sustainability

Welcome to the Cirque The Label studio!

Sustainably is at the core of everything that goes on here.

I take pride in using innovative methods in manufacture and packaging, and am a big fan of reusing and repurposing in all elements of the business. Below are a few of the steps CTL has taken so far:

• CTL collections are made from either remnant, deadstock or vintage fabrics. Some are made from preloved or vintage garments, deconstructed to be given a new life.
• The invisible thread used to finish each scrunchie once belonged to my Great Aunt Mary. The reel was found in her sewing box that I inherited when she died 12 years ago.
• I only use biodegradable eco elastic in scrunchies, made from organic cotton and natural rubber.
• All thread used is recycled cotton.

• I run Cirque The Label from my home studio, where everything has been sourced second-hand.
• I made my sewing table from salvaged wardrobe doors.
• The backdrop screens are reclaimed woodchip screens that I cover in different wallpapers.
• All my little trinkets and treasures were picked up in charity shops and at carboots.
• On buying trips I avoid carbon transport. Where possible I walk, cycle or take public transport.
