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.

A brilliant flask, keeps the coffee hot for ages all with a simple, elegant and functional design.
Ordered some decorative kraft tape on Friday and received it on Monday. Hugely impressed with the thoughtful, eco packaging. I can tell this company cares about its customers and first impressions! I will definitely be back to shop here again. Thank you.
I'm still waiting for an order placed 10 days ago. Only got a response from customer service the second time I contacted them and the answer wasn't helpful.
Delighted with the handkerchiefs. Great concept hope you do well going forward. Thanks
I was pleased to be offered unscented sheets and have since been pleased with their performance.
Website easy to negotiate and also pleased to use a UK firm.
So all round pretty pleased.
