Ethos

NO PLASTICS

Having spent years immersed in the fashion industry, the staggering amount of waste generated by samples and packaging and green washing was a sobering realisation, particularly the excessive use of single-use plastics.

Our commitment is unwavering: we don’t use any plastics, opting instead to design products that are either reusable or feature detachable components.

RECYCLED PACKAGING

Our packaging mirrors our values; crafted from recycled materials, sometimes pre used, with tissue paper printed using vegetable-based inks and free from chlorine.

Reusing & Repurposing

To minimise paper waste even the smallest offcuts find purpose, whether as embellishments for products like straws or as recycled swing tags and repurposing remnants to create homemade paper, closing the loop on waste.

LOCAL SUPPLIERS

Our dedication extends to our supply chain as well. 90% of our supplies are sourced from local businesses within the UK..

Recycled and pre used materials

We are dedicated to sustainability, using recycled paper for all our products. If a client prefers non-recycled paper, we are happy to accommodate. Our ribbons and materials are primarily sourced from deadstock, pre-used supplies, or clearance sales. Due to this, certain colors may be limited in availability. However, if a specific Pantone color is required, we can source non-deadstock materials to meet your exact needs.

creating sustainable keepsakes

Although Pin Pen Studio specialises in non-essential items, we are acutely aware of the impact consumerism can have on the environment. While our products may fall into the category of  non essentials or ‘stuff,' we are steadfast in our commitment to mitigating this impact by exclusively utilising sustainable materials. Sustainability is not just a feature of our products; it's woven into the fabric of our ethos, guiding every decision we make.
