Celtic & Co Sustainability - SustainabilityTracker.com

Celtic & Co says a sense of environmental and social responsibility has been woven into the business since it began crafting sheepskin products over 30 years ago. The company describes itself as a front runner of the slow fashion movement since 1990, making products designed to last a lifetime and encouraging consumers to reduce mass consumption and waste by buying quality over quantity and repairing items rather than replacing them. Its mission focuses on natural fibres, British manufacturing, long-life services such as repair and re-sole, and consideration of impact on people and the planet.

Slow fashion since 1990

We have been front runners of the slow fashion movement since 1990, crafting products which are designed to last a lifetime. We aim to encourage consumers to reduces mass consumption and waste through buying quality over quantity, and to repair items rather than replace.

Uses natural fibres

Our mission is to create beautiful, natural sustainable clothing and footwear that everyone can choose over petroleum-based synthetic fibres that are damaging to our environment. We consider our impact on the planet and people with every decision we make from sourcing suppliers as close to home as possible to only using the finest natural fibres in our range.

Supports British manufacture

Passionate supporters of British manufacturing, many of our products are made within Great Britain. Not only does this help us build great relationships with our suppliers, but it’s one of 16 key circular principles in which we have carefully built our business model around.

Repair and re-sole service

Created to support a circular and sustainable fashion industry, other key principles include providing services to support long life, which we do with our repair and resole service, and designing for longevity.

Minimises landfill waste

We’ll always minimise waste to landfill by creating products that will last a long time. Our knitwear will naturally bio-degrade at the end of its life and we prolong the life of our sheepskin boots by offering a re-sole and repair service.
