It’s no secret that we are huge advocates of local businesses and independents, but the pride we feel through this pandemic is multiplied daily when we see what some of our favourite brands are doing. From care package deliveries to educating us through their social here are a few of our favourites.
Already one of our favourite social enterprises, Fat Macy’s is supper clubs & catering staffed by Londoners living in hostels, to help save for housing deposits. The lockdown forced them to adapt their services so they can still support their staff, they are now offering hampers delivered to your door, full of local produce and still supporting the same great causes as ever.
THE UNCOMMON
When the world first started changing, and everything seemed a little uncertain and scary, this Peckham based brand made sure that everyone received a little joy in the panic, hand delivering sparkling wine to everyones front door step as a little pick me up really demonstrates how much brands actually care about their community and customers. We opened our door and couldn’t have been happier, it also tastes pretty amazing.
ALIGHIERI JEWELLERY
London based vogue favourite Alighieri is bringing inspiring and balancing content to the community with Alighieri Escapes. Founder Rosh Mahtani is bringing together big names from the creative industries to keep us all inspired in this time. Highlights include Art Therapy and drawing lessons from Alexandria Coe, Mantra Chants from Mayia Alleaume and Dante Readings with Gianluca Longo.
THREE GRACES LONDON
Not only do they make beautiful, lux, sustainable clothing, but through March and April they donated 100% of net sales to homelessness charity Crisis, to support their efforts to protect the homeless during the COVID-19 outbreak.
PSYCLE LONDON
We normally bike everywhere and go to the gym a few times a week, so keeping on top of our fitness during lockdown seemed a bit daunting. Until we found Psycle. Their spread of workouts from yoga and bar to HIIT and strength (even ride) provides something for everyone and everyone who takes the classes are always so welcoming and motivating that you power through and feel amazing at the end.
