{"id":5770,"title":"Squiggly Studio - Our Story","description":"Squiggly Studio - Our Story","content":"<p><strong>Squiggly Studio <\/strong>started out as a side project during the first coronavirus pandemic lockdown. It was inspired by the need to find positivity amidst turbulent times. Founder and designer Esther discovered that the process of sketching whimsical, playful and colourful artwork and positive affirmations helped reinforce a positive mental outlook. Quite unexpectedly, through this process the Squiggly Studio designs emerged, where a world of colour, uplifting words and illustrations combined to create inspirational slogans and motifs which are applied to GOTS-certified organic tees, jumpers and tote bags.<\/p><p>Squiggly Studio is all about the \u2018we\u2019, not \u2018me\u2019. It\u2019s about community, collaboration, positivity and hope. It\u2019s about ethical, circular and sustainable fashion, and it\u2019s about giving back. It\u2019s a tiny new seed of a project, but with big dreams for a healthier, happier and more peaceful world for all. Our designs have a contemporary, relaxed and playful aesthetic and are focused on encouraging positive mental health and spreading positive vibes. They are also intended to be worn A LOT \u2013 when the items are worn out, they can be returned and recycled into new products.\u00a0<\/p><p>Our focus from the outset has been to set up a socially responsible and sustainable endeavour committed to positive change. Our products and packaging are made from natural materials and are ethically produced in factories powered by renewable energy. As part of the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification, our products' supply chain is audited to ensure safe, positive and fair working conditions and pay. The products are printed on demand in the UK and supplied in plastic-free packaging, and every product is designed to be returned when it\u2019s worn out to make new products from the material recovered. Circular and sustainable fashion at its best. Keep an eye out too for \u2018give back\u2019 incentives such as our \u2018Buy a Tee, plant a tree\u2019 offers.<\/p><p>You can read more about our story and the supply chain, including sustainability certification, on our 'Blog' and\u00a0'Journey' pages.<\/p>","urlTitle":"squiggly-studio","url":"\/blog\/squiggly-studio\/","editListUrl":"\/my-blogs","editUrl":"\/my-blogs\/edit\/squiggly-studio\/","fullUrl":"https:\/\/squigglystudio.com\/blog\/squiggly-studio\/","featured":false,"published":true,"showOnSitemap":true,"hidden":false,"visibility":null,"createdAt":1593637073,"updatedAt":1684499683,"publishedAt":1684499683,"lastReadAt":null,"division":{"id":74350,"name":"Squiggly Studio"},"tags":[],"metaImage":{"original":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/l0otehxgbfz90wkodclonjwtlix8sobz1edtbflzncuhybop.jpeg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/l0otehxgbfz90wkodclonjwtlix8sobz1edtbflzncuhybop.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/l0otehxgbfz90wkodclonjwtlix8sobz1edtbflzncuhybop.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"metaTitle":"","metaDescription":"","keyPhraseCampaignId":null,"series":[],"similarReads":[{"id":17682,"title":"Brand New Cherry Collection","url":"\/blog\/brand-new-cherry-collection\/","urlTitle":"brand-new-cherry-collection","division":74350,"description":"\ud83c\udf52A taste of summer with retro vibes \u2013 our cherry collection of organic cotton tees, vests and tote bags is a nostalgic celebration of these gorgeous juicy fruits with our unique Squiggly twist\ud83c\udf52\n\n\ud83d\udc9aPrinted onto GOTS-certified 100% organic cotton sustainably and ethically produced by our carbon neutral supplier\ud83d\udc9a","published":true,"metaImage":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/wnceygpxiqxdej9kptg6srut1zhivot0vt8u6ga7w452sls5.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/wnceygpxiqxdej9kptg6srut1zhivot0vt8u6ga7w452sls5.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"hidden":0},{"id":13937,"title":"Small Business Star Christmas campaign","url":"\/blog\/small-business-star-christmas-campaign\/","urlTitle":"small-business-star-christmas-campaign","division":74350,"description":"Small Business Star Christmas campaign","published":true,"metaImage":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/dbexiqdeavns8ndc5h1he56rojk5kcuwa3nbi2wptqgnsxcb.png.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/dbexiqdeavns8ndc5h1he56rojk5kcuwa3nbi2wptqgnsxcb.png.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"hidden":0},{"id":13698,"title":"Carbon Neutral Clothing","url":"\/blog\/carbon-neutral\/","urlTitle":"carbon-neutral","division":74350,"description":"We\u2019re happy to share that not only is our clothing sustainably and ethically produced but is also carbon neutral.
