Shore and Pine was born from a personal discovery of fashion industry wastage.
Beginning with founder Sarah’s time at university, her realisation surrounding fabric waste peaked when dressmaking at a professional level. Sarah’s small business was generating sackfuls of excess materials through bespoke clothing and alteration offcuts.
“If this was from a one-person business, it’s scary to think about the scale of waste from even just one High Street clothing giant.” Sarah Fenn, Shore and Pine founder.
Our brand mission is to not only reduce the demand for new fabrics being created; but minimise the fashion industry’s overall impact on the planet by resetting the way we look at perfectly beautiful ‘wasted’ materials from a fresh perspective.
Shore and Pine pieces are lovingly constructed from leftover fabrics, offcuts, second-hand or recycled textiles and clothing; with some fastenings and components added to complete each item.
As a happy side effect, no two creations are exactly the same. Every piece tells its own story. So when buying from Shore and Pine, not only will you be directly affecting the environment for good, but you will own something completely one of a kind.
Our concern at Shore and Pine does not simply stop at fabric use. We do as much as we can to keep our own footprint on the environment small and wherever possible use biodegradable, recycled or re-purposed products.
