Crafting Mindfully: My Commitment to Sustainability at Grab a Coffee

At Grab a Coffee, sustainability is more than just a buzzword — it’s a core part of how I run my business. I believe in creating beautiful products that respect the planet and contribute to a more eco-friendly future. From the materials I choose to the way I package your order, every decision I make reflects my commitment to the environment.

Eco-Friendly Materials:
I carefully select materials that are both sustainable and high-quality. The felt I use is sourced from environmentally responsible suppliers, ensuring it’s biodegradable and free from harmful chemicals. 

Reducing Waste:
Waste reduction is one of my top priorities. I make the most of every material I use, repurposing off-cuts and leftover fabric into smaller items or other projects. I am using small bits of 'waste', that's why you see a lot of craft supplies in my shop: e.g. tiny leaves or flowers are coming out from the waste of felt sheets, what I used for other products. I strive to produce as little waste as possible, all while maintaining the high quality of the finished products. Any packaging I use is also kept minimal and is fully recyclable or biodegradable.

Sustainable Packaging:
I believe that packaging should be just as eco-conscious as the product itself. That’s why I use recycled and biodegradable materials to pack and ship your order. From recyclable boxes to eco-friendly tissue paper and compostable packaging tape, every element is chosen with the environment in mind. I want you to feel good about every aspect of your purchase, from product to packaging.

Energy-Efficient Production:
I keep my production process small-scale and energy-efficient. By handcrafting each item and using minimal machinery, I reduce energy consumption. My studio is designed to minimize my environmental footprint while still allowing me to create the high-quality items you expect from Grab a Coffee.(At our house, we do have solar panels, so everything within this house is energy-efficient - even if I am sewing at night :) )

Supporting Slow, Thoughtful Consumption:
I believe in slowing down and creating products that are meant to last. Fast fashion and mass production can be harmful to both people and the planet, which is why I take a more mindful approach to creating. My goal is to provide you with high-quality, timeless pieces that you’ll love for years, rather than items that are quickly discarded. By choosing handmade, you’re supporting this slower, more thoughtful way of consuming and helping to protect the environment for future generations.
