Gifts that give back Beautiful products to stock in-store that don’t cost the earth SIENNA GLASS www.siennaglass.com At Sienna Glass, they believe that beautiful gifts deserve equally thoughtful packaging. That’s why it has invested in packaging that is not only stylish and practical but also recyclable, giving retailers and customers an eco-friendly choice without compromising on presentation. Every element of the packaging has been designed with care. Boxes are sturdy enough to protect delicate glassware, yet attractive enough to be displayed or given directly as a gift. By using recyclable materials and avoiding unnecessary plastics, Sienna Glass helps reduce environmental impact while still ensuring its products arrive safely and look their best in-store. This approach supports retailers in two key ways: it strengthens product appeal at the point of sale and aligns with the growing consumer demand for sustainable choices. Customers increasingly expect packaging to reflect their values, and by choosing Sienna Glass, stockists can offer gifts that are both environmentally responsible and beautifully presented. The packaging also adds a practical benefit for retailers. SHARED EARTH www.sharedearth.co.uk Diksha is a hugely creative young talent in India, making trendy bags of various shapes and sizes. Her business is less than a year old and she’s taking the market by storm with her imaginative collations of different materials and images. Shared Earth launched her first collection in October, and in February this will be followed by a range made from old army tents. Cotton, organic or otherwise, is a big problem for the environment, taking up a lot of land and needing huge quantities to grow; not a good material in countries like India which suffer frequent droughts. From 2026, all Diksha’s bags will be made from recycled canvas, leather and other textiles. Buying them, aside from their attractive designs, will help us move towards a more sustainable world. 25 FAIRTRADE
