Tuwi London

Tuwi London´s soft blankets and throws, designed in Britain and made in Peru, are made of the the softest baby Alpaca fibers. Baby Alpaca is comparable to cashmere in terms of softness and is perfect for delicate skin, since it is natural, hypoallergenic, non-prickly, breathable, lightweight and has outstanding thermal qualities (bringing warmth in cold weather and keeping the body cool in heat). Founder Kasia McConaghy choose the name tuwi for her brand because it means baby alpaca in Quechua, the language of the Incas.

Happsy

Healthy sleep shouldn’t be difficult to find, and it shouldn’t cost a fortune. When seeing the mattresses available in the market, the people at Happsy saw a need for an organic bed-in-a-box alternative that was attainable by everyone. Why do educated, savvy, environmentally aware consumers buy memory foam, gel infused foam and the like - all made with polyurethane foam, polyester fabrics, glues/adhesives and flame retardants? Because there were no better alternatives.

Fluf

When Fluf was founded in 2005 by Terra Kushner and Nathalie Butterfield it was an exclusive pillow boutique in Toronto.

The inspiration for creating greener products came from their families. “We were making a lot of eco-friendly changes at home because we had young families,” says Kushner who, like Butterfield, has two children.
