Believing in something or someone can change over time. Sometimes you believe in something because it’s what’s expected of you or you feel you need to to be accepted. What I believe in these days is certainly a lot different to what was important to me when I was younger. In fact, if I’m totally honest with myself, the stuff I believed in back then was mostly forced upon me. I’ll spare you the details, too much angst and misplaced loyalty.

My beliefs and values are totally stripped back these day. On a daily basis I try to value the positive things in my life and not dwell on the negative, I put aside the stuff that I can’t change and do my bit to make a difference with the things I can. This carries over into Colour My Dreams and is the basis for what I want to achieve.

CMD is rooted in being conscious of the impact we all make on our environment. It’s difficult to be totally green these days, but the more we do to avoid practises that damage our physical environment and actively protest against these practises, the easier it will get.

I do my best to source my materials from companies who share the same beliefs and values that I do. I make sure that the workers who harvest and prepare the raw materials are treated well and paid fairly. I care deeply that the animal husbandry is of the highest of standards, the animals are well looked after and enjoy a good life in large open spaces.

In essence, my business ethos reflects my life. If you care about the environment as much as I do then I hope you’ll appreciate the difference between my business and one that pumps out throw away fashion,  who doesn’t care about who is making their products or how much they pay them to do it.

I believe in using the highest quality materials, sustainably & ethically sourced, to make my products by hand and leave as little impact on the environment as I can. That’s what I believe in and that’s what I value. I have nothing to hide, ask me anything about my business, I'm happy to share.
