The Haberdasher Bee
A Sustainable Haberdashery Shop
Plastic free haberdashery shouldn’t cost the earth – at The Haberdasher Bee, all products are carefully sourced with sustainability in mind
I’m proud to say that as part of my sustainability measures, I subscribe to Ecologi. My subscription plants trees and supports climate based initiatives through carbon offsetting – plus, every single order now plants a tree too! You can learn more about my sustainability goals on my social responsibility page.
