TOP DRAWER EXHIBITORS 59 Anna Falcke, +44 (0)117 904 9698 , annafalcke.com Speaking to Attire Accessories, Anna Falcke said, “As an inclusive team, we value diversity and are passionate about our brand and customers. We strive to make the products in the UK, thus investing in local economy, which reduces air pollution and keeps our carbon footprint as low as we possibly can. While very aware of the recent news regarding the impact of washing microfibres, we recommend that our small pleated fleece accessories only require occasional washing. Recent customer feedback has shown that customers rarely wash accessories. “New swing labels now state machine wash, ‘Think planet’, and more planet-friendly packaging, including compostable and recyclable packaging, has been introduced. “We are always striving to introduce new British-made fabrics into our collection and are consciously taking steps to help reduce any negative footprint in the production of our scarves and accessories. “Please be assured that we do pay close attention to the current environmental concerns that are being widely reported and are continually making steps to reduce the use of plastic in our business and our impact on the environment.” Stand number: 302 Kuniko Maeda, kuniko-maeda.com Kuniko Maeda is a Japanese designer and artist based in London.
