Our Sustainability Ethos

Looking after our land and our people has always been at the heart of Swanndri. For over 110 years we have been producing honest, hardwearing clothing that lasts, and is designed to be patched up and passed down through the generations.

We have always had an affinity with the natural world and natural fibres and local growers are still at the heart of what we do.

We know there will always be improvements we can make as we move towards supporting the circular economy, and we've aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development goals to make sure we are on the right path.

Swanndri has stood the test of time for over 100 years, producing honest hardwearing clothing that has protected people working and adventuring outdoors whatever the weather.

We have always had an affinity with the natural world and locally sourced natural fibres are still at the heart of what we do.

Made to Last

LONGEVITY
QUALITY

We make clothes the way we always have - to last a lifetime. They're high quality, hard wearing and long lasting. Like an old mate. We treat them like one too. Giving them the care they deserve so they'll stick around.
