B Silent Christmas Gift Set

Our Saxon merino flock lives on Daylesford Organic farm in Gloucestershire; the wool is sheared, spun and knitted in the UK without ever leaving British soil.

Organic cotton is better for our environment and the soil as the crops are responsibly grown without being treated with pesticides, insecticides or herbicides.

We are committed to using natural fibres as they are biodegradable and will one day be returned to the soil without harming it. Kinder to skin and designed to last.

Where we do use small amounts of man-made fibres to enable stretch, we have chosen a recycled fibres which are produced with a reduction in CO2 emissions, water consumption, and use of energy from renewable resources.

Hemp is a fast-growing, fully biodegradable plant fibre. Hemp fabrics are incredibly durable and long-lasting, and can be recycled and reused.

We take great care to ensure our wool is sourced from reputable spinners with animal welfare at the heart of their supply chain. We value the beauty, resilience and recyclable properties of this natural fibre.

Using only the finest quality cashmere we work with select makers in Scotland and Italy who share our deep respect for this most precious fibre. 

Alpaca yarn is lanolin free and therefore hypoallergenic, a soft fibre to be worn close to your skin. Alpaca fibre offers a wide range of natural colours, encouraging less dye stuff to be used in the production process.

Linen is a recyclable and bio-degradable textile made from the fibres of the flax plant which grows without need of pesticides or additional water. We celebrate the natural imperfections and coolness of this ancient cloth.

We minimise waste by repurposing fabric off-cuts and discarded materials from previous collections, giving them a second life as a new garment or object made using upcycling techniques.

We value our close collaborations with highly skilled craftspeople and their traditional techniques, passed down through generations. Many of our products have been either wholly crafted or partly crafted by hand.

In coordination with Greenpeace, this yarn has been produced without using hazardous chemicals so the water that leaves the production plant is cleaner than the water that entered it.

Colours as nature intended with no risk of pollution from dying. We increasingly use undyed fibres in our collection to celebrate the natural palette nature offers.

As part of our commitment to increasing wild habitats and biodiversity, we will be dedicating a native tree sapling for every Bamford hamper sold.

We are planting saplings of native species – British broadleaf oak, hazel, beech, holly or Scots pine – in a dedicated area of Wootton, our organic farm in Staffordshire. As they grow, the trees will sequester carbon, cleaning the air, providing habitats for wildlife and encouraging our countryside’s biodiversity.
