The journey is just as important as the destination ...
As a business, and as individuals, we have an important responsibility to reduce our environmental impact. We are committed to incorporating sustainable business practices into our day-to-day because everything we do has an impact. We’re also passionate about evolving our sustainability initiatives and continuously improving.
It’s an oldie, but a goodie: Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.
It’s not our original concept, but we’re passionate about doing our bit for environmental sustainability.
We take the fast out of fashion
Bashful Designs is committed to small-batch, limited production – it helps us reduce waste and ensures you get more exclusive fashion pieces.
Handmade with care – we only make to order, helping reduce the energy consumption associated with our production process.
Made by hand, worn by ears… for years – with attention to detail and durable, hypoallergenic materials, Bashful Designs earrings love you long-time. Yes, we use acrylic (a hard plastic) which doesn’t breakdown well. To counteract this environmental impact, we combine the durable acrylic with unique and timeless designs. So, you can wear your Bashful Designs earrings for years to come or gift them for someone else to reuse or upcycle.
It’s a revival!
We also keep all acrylic offcuts and any leftover designed pieces (those not purchased) for future use. Some pieces inspire new designs. Wherever we can’t recycle them, the pieces are donated to Reverse Garbage, schools, or local community groups to be used in other creative projects.
Good things come in our fabulous little packages
We use small boxes and custom-sized earring cards that protect our products from excessive movement and getting damaged in transit. This reduces the amount of packaging we need to ensure your products arrive safely.
Petite packages doing big things – our little boxes and post-pack bags are recyclable.
Little card, big hug for the planet – our earring cards are made from 100% recycled stock.
Entry refused – you won’t see any non-recyclable branded materials, such as stickers, in our order packages.
It’s a journey
As Bashful Designs evolves, so will our sustainability efforts. We’re committed to ongoing improvement, and we’ll keep this page updated whenever things change.
