3. Liga
Earth-friendly homewares celebrating the beauty of natural materials.
Liga is a champion among sustainable kitchenware brands. They primarily use organic cork, which is naturally harvested from the bark of cork oak trees every 9 years without harming the tree; in fact, harvested trees absorb more carbon dioxide!

They also rank highly among our favourite sustainable sock brands, and their woven belts made from recycled plastics are a brilliant finishing touch to any gent’s outfit.
5. Miss Sparrow
