How do you choose the designers you work with?
Over the years we have been privileged to partner with a range of designers, who each bring their unique style to People Tree.
People like Orla Kiely, Zandra Rhodes and Simeon Farrar.
To start a design collaboration, we look for designers whose aesthetic we love and who are interested in natural fibres, organic and Fair Trade. We really partner closely with designers and learn a lot together!
Do you buy natural beauty products, if so what do you love and why?
Between People Tree Japan and UK, I am often travelling. Essential Care products such as Organic Avocado Replenishing Cream is perfect for revitalising whilst on the move. Calendula balm is a small tub with enormous power. For lips, cuticles, hands, feet, fingers, elbows, toes and more. Organic Mineral Lipstick is great. I aim to only eat organic, Fairtrade and locally produced food - why should what I wear on my lips be any different?
You must lead a busy life, but what do you like doing in your spare time?!
I love cooking and baking organic cakes – I started baking my friend’s birthday cakes when I was 13! I love walking in nature and try to do yoga every morning at home in my living room. My organic cotton farmers taught me that yoga is something you do every day in the morning, by yourself, you don’t have to go to a class. Even 6-8 sun salutations is a good daily discipline to keep fit!
