My name is Jen and I am the founder of Ashmole.<\/p>
I started my clothing brand in 2021. Ashmole came about after I spent time during Lockdown looking for clothing to buy for myself and my family. I researched quite a few clothing brands and sadly not many of them ticked my wish list of being both sustainable and affordable. I found that brands that truly were environementally friendly were out of my price range. So I decided to take action and have a go myself. My company which started at my kitchen table has since grown in popularity with other people also believing in my dream of a more sustainable yet affordable future of fashion.<\/p>
\"Ashmole is an Eco & Vegan Friendly clothing & accessory brand which truly is kind to the planet & all those living on it. Our goal is for our items to be environmentally friendly, wearable and affordable for the whole family. Sustainably and ethically made, designed to spread love, peace, kindness and positivity.\u201d<\/p>
When I am designing my products I am firstly designing items I would want to wear myself and fill my wardrobe with. I am then thinking about the printing and production, ensuring that it is kind to the environment and vegan friendly.<\/p>
All our items are eco friendly and ethically made using 100% organic cotton. We create your tshirts, hoodies and sweatshirts at the time of ordering to reduce waste. We use environmentally friendly printing techniques including vegan labels which are not tested on animals or containing any animal-derived products. Everything is printed in the UK with low waste printing technology. Plus it's made in a renewable energy powered factory audited for a wide range of social and sustainability criteria. Oh and all are packaging is plastic free.<\/p>","urlTitle":"ashmole-how-the-story-began","url":"\/blog\/ashmole-how-the-story-began\/","editListUrl":"\/my-blogs","editUrl":"\/my-blogs\/edit\/ashmole-how-the-story-began\/","fullUrl":"https:\/\/theashmolegroup.co.uk\/blog\/ashmole-how-the-story-began\/","featured":false,"published":true,"showOnSitemap":true,"hidden":false,"visibility":null,"createdAt":1660734753,"updatedAt":1662128018,"publishedAt":1661079069,"lastReadAt":null,"division":{"id":140312,"name":"The Ashmole Group"},"tags":[],"metaImage":{"original":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/dshomjfhbnybttqdxvyldgg9q8rurnks5agq4bpim3rkuvz6.jpeg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/dshomjfhbnybttqdxvyldgg9q8rurnks5agq4bpim3rkuvz6.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/dshomjfhbnybttqdxvyldgg9q8rurnks5agq4bpim3rkuvz6.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"metaTitle":"Ashmole - how the story began","metaDescription":"My name is Jen and I am the founder of Ashmole.
