Hi my Name is Mr Ben and I am a Tailor who makes all my clothing myself here in the UK.
I make my Clothing from 100% Organic, Naturally dyed (with plants, roots and shoots) Hemp fabric (some of which is handwoven). I am trying to encourage people to buy quality, natural fibre, local made clothing instead of cheap plastic clothing.

Repairs Specialist
We love having Tulullah’s energy and positivity in our Totnes studio.
I design with a love of simplicity and an eye for detail. Sustainability and fit are also at the core of my process.
Fabric choices are extremely important too, how will it feel on the wearers skin? Is it soft and comfortable, yet durable enough for adventures? And equally important, what impact will it have on our planet?
One of our founders and Totnes native, Cat has over 15 years experience designing for British lifestyle and sportswear brands. Having travelled extensively for product research and sourcing, she brings a depth of commercial experience to our space and aims to help you focus on sustainability. Cat is really keen to explore local recycling and up cycling initiatives relating to clothing.
A consciously crafted clothing label with a mission to create beautifully designed yet simple, honest and functional clothing from natural fibres.
We put a lot of love into the sourcing of all our fabrics, using a mixture of Oeko-Tex certified linens and end of roll fabrics left over from the fashion industry.
