Why you should be supporting Green Friday...
Our planet needs us to make things that last and stand the test of time.
We all know that over-consumption is having a huge, detrimental impact on our planet. Thanks to a shift in global activist messaging in recent years, there's no denying the correlations between human behaviour and climate change. We recognise the climate emergency as the defining issue of our times and we all need to do our bit.
This Black Friday, whilst many companies compete with each other to offer customers the cheapest possible deals, here at Tom Raffield we're urging you to only buy what you need. If you have to shop today seek out good quality, honest, handcrafted products that will last a long time from independent businesses and in turn, help us all benefit from an improved environment.
There is no Planet B and this Black Friday it's more important than ever to be environmentally conscious.
SLOW DOWN, BUY LESS, BUY BETTER.
Here's why we never enter the Black Friday battle to be the cheapest...
As a pioneering design-led brand who carve our own path and innovative processes, we feel a responsibility to share and vocalise our passion for sustainability.
Here at Tom Raffield we come to work each day to create products that stand the test of time and push back against modern throwaway culture. We proudly produce handcrafted designs with a valued heritage. We don't and won't compromise on quality or aesthetic.
No chemicals, no additives, no production line - just the shared understanding that every decision impacts and has the power to forge a new way of doing things.
We believe in...
Quality
Every single detail counts. We work tirelessly until every ratio, line, weight and curve is just right. Crafting the heirlooms of the future, we’re committed to making pieces that are loved, used, and will last over a lifetime. Exemplary design and craftsmanship calls for time, skill and dedication that’s why our products are special investment pieces.
Sustainability
We make decisions based on what’s best for people and the planet, as well as our business. Driven by our passion for eco-conscious design we strive to ensure that our processes don't have a negative impact on the source of our inspiration: the natural world around us. From the place we work and the people we work with, sustainability is and has always been our bedrock.
