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.

Super easy to order, quick delivery - I’m loving these laundry sheets! As someone with a very sensitive sense of smell, I cannot handle standard laundry scents so thought I’d give these a try. They do have a strong smell at first (for me at least) but when everything was washed and dry, it was perfect! My whites (always the test) came up really good too. Very happy :)
I’ve been looking for a UK company and UK made product to replace my laundry liquids and Green Tulip are perfect. Cruelty free and vegan with the added bonus of non toxic and environmentally friendly, what is not to love about that. I’m on my first lot of sheets and they wash well with a subtle scent of clean. Will definitely be reordering.
I am extremely pleased with my ocean flask ! It has been very satisfying to buy a flask with a smaller volume as some are too big. Love the colour and the style of it plus helping save plastic .Thanks
These were very charming notelet cards, easy shopping & I was delighted with them on arrival
