CRAFTED SOCIETY, AMSTERDAM

Cashmere scarves woven by family-run Lanificio Arca; hats from fourth-generation milliner Sorbatti; heritage shoe factory Mirage Calzature’s low-top sneakers. While many high-end fashion houses keep their manufacturing partners a closely guarded secret, Crafted Society’s ‘Luxury for Good’ approach to its Italian-produced accessories has a shout-it-from-the-rooftops level of transparency. Husband and wife duo Lise Bonnet and Martin Johnston not only co-brand each piece with the maker’s name, they also list every label online and donate one per cent of annual turnover to non-profit organisations that educate disadvantaged children. craftedsociety.com

BOTTLETOP, LONDON

This flagship is a world first: a no-waste boutique built with 3D printers and recycled plastic. It started with a foundation supporting grass-roots health projects in 2002, launched by Cameron Saul, along with a bestselling bag made from upcycled bottle tops sourced in Kenya and lined with fashion label Mulberry’s leather off-cuts (Saul’s father, Roger is the luxury house’s founder). A decade later, the accessories company followed, co-founded with Oliver Wayman. Produced in Brazil, the collection uses zero-deforestation-guaranteed leather and handcrafted chainmail stitched out of metal ring pulls. bottletop.org
