MANUFACTURE & AFTERCARE

MANUFACTURE

Here at Laura Spring we 100% believe in ethical manufacturing. Therefore we work closely with all our suppliers to ensure all our products are manufactured to the highest standards with workers receiving a fair wage in the correct working conditions. The bilk of what we make is produced here in the UK (some by our own hands) with a minority of products sourced from overseas suppliers. Please read on to find out more...

Our screen printed products are hand printed in-house at our Glasgow based studio using the finest raw materials. Based in an old sawmill, our studio is home to a diverse range of creative people and we love working from here. We print the fabric by hand on our traditional printing table using water-based inks that cure here in the studio.

Our digital range of products are also printed in Glasgow, just down the road in fact, which makes production very easy to deal with.

We are also delighted to keep the manufacture of all our accessories and much of our homeware within Scotland and work with a small family business just outside Glasgow to produce the bulk of our collections. They have a wealth of knowledge and expertise of the textiles and manufacturing industry and create our products to the highest standard for us taking great care and using their excellent eye for detail.

Limited edition products and hand-finishing of some products takes place in the studio by our own hands to ensure all our products are made to the highest standard before we ship them to you.

Rugs are produced in collaboration with Floor_Story using carefully researched and specialist rug makers in India that Floor_Story have worked with and visited regularly to ensure fair working practices over their twelve year relationship.

Stationery is printed and made by a small business in England.

Knot Wraps are screen printed in-house onto cotton squares of cloth that have been created by a social enterprise in India whose 'aim is to create sustainable livelihoods for rural women where employment opportunities are limited, to help helping them gain economic independence'.
