Driven by a
love of textiles that sat uneasily with the
industry’s legacy of environmental damage
and terrible working conditions, LUMA was created
in 2006 to provide beautiful home textiles,
made in a better way.
Our fabrics are luxurious organic cottons,
environmentally-friendly linens and silks,
and pure wools, including pashmina, merino
and angora. Bedlinens are naturally coloured
organic cottons or gently oxygen-bleached.
Where dyes are used, they are either vegetable
or low-impact.
All LUMA products are made with dignity
and many are helping to change lives. Textiles
is a very human industry; it touches billions
of people across the world in myriad ways.
LUMA selected suppliers that enhance lives
as well as produce wonderful products. Its
supplier in India is a fair trade partner
with Oxfam and Greenpeace, and its Peruvian
partner has led fair trade projects in Peru
for over 20 years. Many of LUMA’s accessories
sustain remote communities that depend on
their traditional skills and support poverty
relief efforts. Its cotton is grown by rural
communities in developing countries; not
Texan cotton barons! You can read more in About
the People.
However, we recognise that this is little
more than rather pleasant reading unless
we have beautiful, well-priced products that
you love and buy. We believe we have achieved
that, please tell us what you think. |
