How to take the guilt out of shopping and feel good about spending!
Do you ever feel guilty about spending? Do you wonder about how fast fashion harms the environment? Do you think your money is going to end up in the pockets of anonymous big business shareholders? Well, there is another way! We can all make the choice to support local businesses that care and by doing so become part of a community with shared values. Tilian Kids cares about the planet and the people on it and has created a community of friends through its business who believe in its vision of creating ethical and environmentally friendly clothing and toys for children.
Start by looking at what you are buying. If you are buying clothes or toys for your little one with synthetic polymers or toys made from plastic, I promise you, you won’t regret switching. Clothes made from natural fibres like cotton, wool or 100% organic yarn such as those made by Tilian Kids contain no plastic in the fibres so are better for the environment but are also gentler on sensitive skin. Natural materials which don’t contain chemicals such as wooden toys mean that you can shop knowing your little one is safe and comfortable. Choosing quality materials that are hand made such as those made by Tilian Kids means that you are opting out of fast fashion and have a product that will last.
Secondly if you get to know a local business like Tilian Kids you will understand their values. A business and shop that cares about people. Not only does Tilian want its products to help children to thrive with its array of clothing and toys but Tilian works closely with local people in the community. Tilian works with local west-country children to model their products for its website. Tilian also works with Ukrainian women and utilised their skills in a recent photo shoot of its products. So by shopping with Tilian you know you are making a positive difference to the community.
When you walk into the store, you will usually find Nuray chatting with customers like old friends. It is by meeting Nuray who designs many of the clothes and toys herself that you really get an insight into what this business is about. It has created a community of people who care. You can feel her passion and creativity first hand when meeting her or when exploring her products online or in the shop. You can share in her purpose and vision of local, ethical and eco-friendly children’s clothes and toys.
So when you are thinking of making a purchase, choose a local business with a big heart. Put the planet and people first. Join a community who enjoy buying quality clothes and toys for their little ones that they can feel proud of knowing that they have made a difference.
