More This. is a curated sourcebook that looks to bring people together with the brands that are doing good. We noticed that the brands putting people over profit aren’t always the ones who get heard. We want to change that. Below are a few things that have guided the creation and curation of this site.
We think that when you buy something, you should buy it because you love it and it’ll last you a long time. Not just because of its ethical credentials. For this reason, the brands you see on the site are part of a carefully curated edit where style has been considered just as much as substance.
The ethical practices presented have been taken directly from the brands respective websites and/or information they have sent to us themselves. Where there’s not enough information or brands are too vague in describing their ethics we will not include them. Happily, we have got to know many of the founders of the brands featured, which has only furthered our confidence and trust in their ethical standing.
From a small, natural winery tucked away in the Sussex hills to the workshop of a third generation silversmith in the depths of East London, Katherine has an insatiable curiosity for finding people doing things differently and with all consuming consideration. As a photographer, writer and brand consultant, Katherine naturally found herself capturing and curating her finds — saving, scribbling and stacking all over the place. And eventually, those lists, notes and screenshots became More This.
Sarah's known for being obsessed with detail. She's the sort who arrives at a hotel and runs her hand over every surface, taking in the weight of the light switch's toggle and appreciating the intricate stitching on a bathroom's café curtain. Her mind is a little (or large) black book of brands that she's hunted high and low for, and sees people coming to her for recommendations of where to stay, shop and sip wine someplace special. A fellow writer, photographer, creative consultant and constant curator, she sees the world through a warm and gentle lens.
