What we are all about at
Cassius Honey!
-
Craftsmanship
My work is about celebrating time-honoured sewing techniques and preserving the craftsmanship of making clothes: making clothing which is built to last and be passed on over time.
-
Sustainability & Slowness
We live in a society that wants more more more! But I think we all need to s l o w d o w n. Every piece is thoughtfully made to last forever (like, actually forever) using organic cottons, linens, and deadstock fabrics. It takes longer, but good things come to those who wait.
-
Playfulness
Because life is too short for boring clothes. Think whimsical designs with charm and personality - pieces that make you smile every time you wear them and express your individuality. Life doesn’t have to be pedestrian, dress like you’re in a dream.
-
Community
Cassius Honey wouldn’t exist without the amazing support of you - my wonderful customers and followers. Whether you’re wearing my designs or just cheering me on, I’m so grateful to have you as part of this little world I’m building.
-
Kindness
At the heart of everything I do is kindness - for the planet and the people living in it.
Sustainability &
The art of slowing down
In my search for the perfect fabrics, I hunted high and low for a manufacturer I could work with and still sleep at night (kids, The Grind permitting) without nightmares of climate change and sweatshops. Sustainability was the most important factor: I want to make good quality fashion whilst minimising the impact of fashion's contribution to global pollution. I also set out to run an ethical brand (cos otherwise what’s the point in anything??), it was important that there are fair wages and safe working conditions at every stage of the production process.
When designing my own fabrics (for Rosewood & Ribbons I designed three) I only work with manufacturers who do business differently (as in better) and put the ‘green’ in ‘it’s giving green flags’: prioritising sustainable materials, recyclability while minimising waste, and swerving on emissions and iffy chemicals in their production process.
Other fabrics I use are all designer deadstock or OEKO-Tex approved, and all of my embellishments & finishings are also sustainably sourced (buttons made from nuts anyone?!).
At Cassius Honey, every piece is made with slow and thoughtful intention. No factories, no mass production, just one pair of hands (mine!) carefully cutting, sewing, and finishing each garment in my little West Sussex studio.
I use traditional sewing techniques to ensure longevity, working with beautiful, sustainable fabrics like organic cotton and linen. Every design is considered, from the first sketch to the final stitch, with a focus on wearability, comfort, and timelessness - clothing to be loved, worn, and passed down, not discarded.
By making in small batches, I create only what’s needed, minimising waste and allowing for a truly special, personal approach to fashion. It’s slow, yes - but that’s exactly the point.
