Hunter + Boo Blog

Like many of us, my journey to lessen my impact on the planet began by first looking at food choices, followed by skincare.

Whilst healthy eating and clean skincare are now considered more mainstream choices, if we follow the next logical step and look at our clothing, it can be tricky knowing where to start. 

Personally I have found that once you start digging into the ethics of the fashion industry, things get a little over-whelming. From scary statistics like fashion being one of the most polluting industries in the world, to reports of appalling human rights abuses like the Rana Plaza collapse, how many of us know the real reasons why we should choose one fabric or brand over another.

When we stumbled upon Shell's Instagram (Shell and the Littlies) last year, we most definitely got sucked into that Insta vortex of scrolling and scrolling and scrolling and... you get the idea!

After much said Insta stalking, we invited Shell to come and preview our new collection at MINI MODE. We were so excited to meet and introduce this stylish Mama to our new collection, talking all things from fashion and philosophy on motherhood, to proud parent moments and morning routines.

Did you catch our UK launch last September at Mini Mode, London’s Premier Kids’ Fashion Week?

Mini Mode highlights kids’ fashion during London Fashion Week, presenting the collections of new and emerging international brands to industry and consumer visitors.

With the stunning backdrop of LSO St Luke’s in the cool Shoreditch area of the City, the show presented a wide diversity of models styled to perfection by Becky Seager with hair and make up by Wow Beaute. We had the best time showcasing our new collection!

Check out our fun highlights video below - spot some of our fave models and influencers. Thanks to everyone involved who made it such an amazing day!

Dreaming of a Green Christmas? Shop consciously this festive season with our holiday gift guide featuring picks of the collection to inspire your gifting for the smallest people on your list.  

This holiday season we would love to share why and how we produce our products with respect for our people and the environment.

We hope this article helps to de-mystify some of the jargon around ethical clothing production plus make you can feel great about gifting Hunter+Boo!

Plus don't miss the gorgeous #behindthescenes pictures we took with our lovely suppliers in Sri Lanka we had to share of our latest collection being made! Photo credits to the awesome team at Eyeconic in Colombo. 

When we said 'a toddler can do more in one unsupervised minute than most people can do all day' - that toddler hadn't met Arielle Free.

With a schedule that most of us would find gruelling, Arielle sees her six day working week as a luxury. DJ, TV Presenter, Festival Presenter, Podcast Host. 2am finishes and 5am starts - does this Scot ever stop?!

The answer is, no. We get the down low from how to be a greener festival goer to all the 'pinch me' moments throughout Arielle's career...Starred in Harry Potter. Check! Introduced Elton John on stage. Check! Missy Elliot favourites your tweets. Check!

And there's even more... get the inside scoop below.

We recently caught up with Jen Auerbach, Co Founder of Clary Collection  - the 100% organic, hand blended range of beautiful skincare products that we are proud to stock on our website.

Between juggling motherhood, hand blending Clary balms and running the business, this Super Mum has also worked around the world with the U.K. children’s charity, Small Steps Project. 

We cover how she and her husband, The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach, manage time outs, the not so naughty naughty step, hiding in the bathroom to send emails (right there with you Jen!), new products launches and Social Media Mums.

Read all about it and more below... and keep your eyes peeled on our social channels for an exclusive Mother’s Day giveaway with Clary Collection this week!

On 24th April 2013 the Rana Plaza factory in Bangladesh collapsed and shook the fashion world. 1138 people were killed, and many more were injured.

Today, Fashion Revolution kick off their annual #whomademyclothes campaign - a week that encourages millions of people to ask brands ‘Who Made my Clothes’ and demand for greater transparency in the fashion supply chain.

We caught up with Laura Francois, Country Coordinator for Fashion Revolution Week in Singapore, to discuss why we need a fashion revolution and how you can get involved to support this global movement. 

And if you're looking to build a more ethical wardrobe, wanting to know how to extend the life of your current clothes or looking for the best app to help you shop more consciously -  Laura gives us her top tips!

It's fair to say that after this interview, we have a total #MumCrush on Super Mum, Kristen, Founder of Aussie skincare brand, BasiK Organics.

Like many mumpreneurs, it wasn't until Kristen had her first baby that she found her passion!  Making truly organic skincare products that worked, and were also totally safe for little ones to use as well...

Our Super Mum blog is back for 2018, and we are super excited to kick start the second in the series off with Naomi Jacob, Co-Founder of Coopita, the Global platform created for artisans.
