Welcome to the first instalment of The List, personal curations of things I think you will find useful or interesting.
This article is an exclusive peek into my little black book of businesses and brands that I love and that are doing good in the world.
I conduct hours of research before buying even the smallest thing and I’ve done this for years. All this research has been distilled into my black book of brands I endorse spending your money with.
Once I become a customer, I’m usually one for life - I’ve done the trawling and checking so you don’t have to. I attach high value to these collections and the hours of groundwork I’ve undergone to compile them (I hope you do too).
In case you missed it, I wrote a piece about the reasons I really, really don’t like shopping. I go into the stuff that make up our things, the gradual cleaning up of my consumption and why it takes a lot for me to part with my money.
Which explains why I’ve created The List, why I think it’s a really important curation and why I think you will love it.
As always, please accept my deepest gratitude for all your support, engagement and wonderful insights.
Below is Part 1 of some of my favourite brands and businesses that sell great things, whilst having a positive impact on the world. And here is Part 2:
I really hope you enjoy this collection.
