Papillons is a sustainable clothing brand, established in Rushden, Northamptonshire by Niamh Bayes. I was becoming more and more aware of the damage that we as a species are doing to our planet and the impact that damage has on our wildlife, I also noticed that while there are many eco-friendly ways to shop now, there is a lack of sustainable clothing brands. And so, I thought why not get my creative head on and merge the two! So here we have Papillons, clothing made from environmentally friendly materials such as recycled polyester and delivered in biodegradable packaging! I was adamant that Papillons still needed to do more to have a positive impact on our wildlife as all animals play an important role in keeping our eco system alive. I have teamed up with charities such as Buglife and The Bumblebee Conservation Trust, so that for each item of clothing sold, 10% of the sale will go to supporting those charities! As a very new brand, I am still bursting with new ideas for designs so come and say Hello on the Papillons instagram page @papillons.clothing where you can see the newest pieces, some behind the scenes, and feel free to tag papillons when you’re styling! I have had so much fun creating these designs and I hope you have fun wearing them.”
