Sustainability

Sustainably is at the core of planet Rommy.
We take pride in using innovative methods in manufacture and packaging, constantly developing ways to reuse and repurpose across all elements of the business.

Take-back Scheme

Join our commitment to longevity by returning your used ROMMY bag within two years to receive a 30% discount code off your next purchase. This helps us to recycle and repurpose components such as the zip and hoop, reducing our environmental impact as a truly circular brand.

Materials

  • You don't have to worry that sustainability will necessarily limit creativity because for Rommy, it feeds it. Our small collections are handcrafted from sustainably sourced fabrics. Some are made from vintage garments, deconstructed to be given a new life. This makes each piece super limited or one of a kind.
  • To avoid wastage and to utilise fabric as wisely as possible, pieces are made small batch.
  • All of the threads used to make each accessory are thrifted.


Surroundings

  • Small = sustainable. As a one woman brand, Rommy is more conscious in it's every day practices. Printing anything off is avoided and we recycle as much as possible.
  • Rommy HQ is based in Jen's home studio, so there's no wasted office lighting or heating - she knows where the jumpers are kept!
  • All of the studio furniture was salved, including the giant sewing table we made from salvaged wardrobe doors.
  • All of the little studio trinkets and treasures were sourced second-hand, picked up in charity shops and at carboots.
  • Out and about on buying trips we always have our reusable shopping totes at the ready. We avoid carbon transport and where possible walk, cycle or take public transport.


Packaging

  • All Rommy packaging is sustainably sourced and can be repurposed or reused.
  • Jen's business cards are made from cotton t-shirt off-cuts.
  • Every element of Rommy packaging is recyclable or biodegradable.
