When we took the decision for SSEAMS Magazine to champion UK independent brands and additionally put some of the purposefulness into the what you wear and where you go, I never imagined meeting so many talented movers and shakers behind the scenes of brands bursting with visionary ideas.

What is truly inspiring is all of the brands significant investment of time and energy into making better environmental impact decisions, and we wholeheartedly back this continued shift. We hear consumers (and our readers) appreciate this too and continue to discover more by way of self-education following their favoured brands activities across the channels.

By showcasing these emerging brands under one roof at the magazine, our hope is for more readers to adapt their shopping behaviour and look left and right of the high street to seek out these glorious independent brands and retailers who do great work by providing quality, durable and ethically made products in tune with our desired lifestyles.

 

Taking the front cover our gratitude goes to Kiltane, who epitomise knitwear for modern living with sales at home and internationally. They are in great company for this issue who share the stage with a multitude of quality, slow (life)style makers.
