About us

Hi, my name is Jenny, 

I started Wandle Eco Textiles in 2020 to support UK farmers and showcase home-grown clothes and gifts. 

Behind every textile product there are many valuable crafts and skills. From the farmer, the spinner, the dyer, the weaver or the knitter... to name just a few!

They should all get a fair deal and I aim to tell the full story behind each product.

Sadly, the textile industry is one of the world's biggest polluters. But with a more considered approach and local supply chains it can make a positive impact. 

This shop was started in search of a greener, more socially just textile economy.

The majority of sales are through our lovely farm shop stockists. Please get in touch if you think we could work together.   

Thanks for stopping by.

 

Why Wandle?

The River Wandle played a significant role in the history of the global textiles economy. Its chalky waters were home to many mills including one of William Morris. 

My study of UK textiles began near the river Wandle in South London. I'm now based in Stroud, Gloucestershire.
