Why I make natural dyed Clothing in the UK
At the SARAH POLAND studio in West Wales, I design, natural-dye, and craft the first studio samples by hand. All natural dyeing is done in-house, ensuring full control over the process and quality from the very beginning.
SARAH POLAND’s naturally dyed clothing is proudly manufactured in the UK, either at the studio itself or in collaboration with a small, female-led manufacturing team in London. Keeping production onshore ensures we meet the highest quality standards and maintain complete control over every step.
By regularly visiting our producers, we foster positive relationships and uphold transparency, ensuring fair wages and safe working conditions. UK based production also reduces transportation distances, minimising our carbon footprint and avoiding unnecessary air travel.
Each garment is thoughtfully designed and launched individually, guided by colour, texture, quality, comfort, and functionality. I dedicate time to rigorous testing to ensure every piece meets the highest standards.
With ethics and sustainability at the heart of SARAH POLAND, our pre-order, made-to-order, and limited-edition systems eliminate excess inventory and prevent overproduction.
This careful approach not only minimizes waste but also keeps prices fair for you.
With a commitment to reducing our carbon footprint, I create clothing that cares for both people and the planet.
SARAH POLAND garments are crafted using GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) and OEKO-TEX 100 certified natural fibre fabrics, alongside other sustainably sourced, eco-conscious materials. I’m meticulous about colour contrasts (yes, I’m a colour nerd!) and source undyed fabrics to dye them to precise specifications using GOTS certified, water-based natural dye processes. I’m equally passionate about functional design details and am constantly striving to source the very best materials, with the goal of using entirely to certified organic fabrics and and achieving full organic certification for SARAH POLAND.
I pledge to never use virgin plastic and to minimise the use of recycled plastic wherever possible. For example, zips are custom-dyed using Natulon, made from recycled PET bottles and other post-consumer waste—because the problem of ocean plastic is one we can’t ignore.
All of this is not just for my peace of mind, but yours too. I want you to feel confident that the products you purchase from SARAH POLAND are caring for both people and the planet—a responsibility we all share.
