Respiin

The name ReSpiin reflects the ethos of reusing/recycling/renewing that is central to the company as well as the weaving and spinning that's used to create some of their signature products. Founded in 2015 by sustainability advocate Charity Nichols, ReSpiin's mission is to upcycle waste and leftover materials into gorgeous homeware.

In addition to recycled wool and cement sacks, they make use of highly sustainable materials like seagrass and jute. Seagrass is harvested by hand in Bangladesh - it's a fast-growing marine plant that protects against erosion and encourages marine biodiversity. Jute also grows quickly and enriches the soil, and once used it can be either recycled or composted.
