The story behind Pigeon Organics
GOTS CERTIFIED
PIGEON ORGANICS
The idea for a children's organic clothing brand came in 2001, when founder Jane Shepherd was working for an environmental charity in London.
Jane learned about the severe negative environmental and health impacts associated with growing and harvesting regular cotton, which uses around a quarter of all insecticides globally.
Jane knew organic was the way forward and on one rainy night in 2001, she arrived at Air India's warehouse at Heathrow to collect five huge bales of organic cotton fabric. Then branded as Organics for Kids, the company grew quickly and by 2008 it was stocked by John Lewis and a few hundred independent retailers around the UK and Germany.
After a rebranding in 2015, Jane launched as Pigeon Organics with a collection made by a fair trade and organic (GOTS) certified factory in Kolkata, India – one that she still works with today.
Pigeon remains a small team with a huge spirit - Jane was joined by Kate in 2015 to help with designs, and in September 2021 her furry sidekick and office assistant Hedley the Bedlington Terrior arrived to help out - mainly zooming around and snoozing through marketing meetings!
Jane manages to escape the chaos on warm weekends for a bit of slow living at her happy place on the Oxford canal with her narrowboat; negotiating a lock or pulling up a swing bridge.
Love the placemats. They look gorgeous and do the job well. However the drinks coasters vary in size slightly and curl up at the edges. They are also not completely flat in the middle which means that putting a glass of wine on them is a bit problematic! Ok if you want to use them for heavier glasses/mugs etc
I ordered a couple of placemats for my table in the balcony. They arrived quickly and very well packed, and product itself is great quality.
This is my second purchase of the Paris ian perfume by Ampersand. Such a lovely summer scent, yo be recommended.
Was looking for some place mats and coasters for outdoor dining, found just what I was looking for on Greentulip, fast delivery and communication, items were well wrapped, very happy customer
Such attentive customer care and such beautifully wrapped gifts - the bath bombs smell gorgeous. Thank you so very much!
