Aerende - Homeware with a social conscience
Founded in 2016, Aerende is an online shop selling beautiful products and gifts for your home, all of them handmade to reduce energy consumption from mass manufacturing and made in the UK by people facing social challenges who struggle to access or maintain conventional employment.
To minimise negative impact on the world and maximise the social value of their products their office is powered by Ecotricity, transport between all local makers happens by bike, and the packaging is stylish but compostable and guarantees the working conditions of all of the makers.
