This month we’re going vegan for Vegan Day, practising kindness and wearing a reusable face mask. Plus we’re loving everything in Zalando’s new sustainable capsule. This is the November Newsletter.

Just as we thought we were getting back to normal, new lockdown measures have popped up. However, here at The Vendeur we’re taking it all in our stride wearing an anti viral reusable face mask. We’re embracing Vegan Day with nourishing products for winter skin and cruelty free peace silk. On 13th you’ll see us taking part in #KindFest2020 to spread some much needed good vibes. Whatever you’re doing this month, whatever you’re wearing, be kind, wear a mask and support some great initiatives.

Pantee Kickstarter November Newsletter

Small Business Shout Out – Pantee

At The Vendeur we are big fans of reimagining how we wear clothes. So we were excited to discover Pantee earlier this year. Sisters Katie and Amanda McCourt have gone on to launch the worlds first underwear brand, made from upcycled t-shirts. “When we learnt about the number of garments going to waste each year, we just had to do something about it,” said co-founder, Amanda McCourt. The result is a small, but perfect collection of basic underwear, reminiscent of your favourite Calvin Kleins. But of course, more eco friendly. As a result the brand are saving water and bringing you comfy, classic undies that you will love. They are launching a Kickstarter this week so make sure to get on the list to be the first in line for a pair of Pantee’s.

#KindFest2020

It’s been a tough year for many of us. A global pandemic and subsequent lockdown plus a resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement have left many of us spinning. So we are totally down for #KindFest2020, an online not for profit festival that seeks to bring a little kindness into our lives. Taking place digitally, the festival brings together thinkers, advocates and activists to discuss how we can all be kinder to ourselves and each other. In a world where you can be anything, be kind. Amen!

13th November, 2-7pm GMT. Tickets available now, with all profits going to KindFests charity partners.

Our favourite sustainability advocate Arizona Muse has teamed up with the exquisite Olistic to bring you a capsule collection for life. The timeless and lets face it, totally divine pieces are all designed to work throughout the year. We particularly love the attention to detail when it comes to fabrication.

These pieces are a little bit of luxury to brighten a dreary autumnal day.

Style With Substance Season Two

What a year it’s been! We launched our podcast, Style With Substance and the support has been overwhelming. Our host Lucy got a bit carried away this season and recorded a few more interviews than she intended. SWS is taking a short break but will be back with more episodes in November. We have some really exciting guests lined up so it will definitely be worth the wait. In the mean time you can catch up with episodes wherever you get your podcasts (Apple, Stitcher, Spotify, Google etc). Please subscribe and leave us a review to help other people find us.

Antiviral Face masks

Disposable face masks are becoming a big problem. 129 billion are used every month around the world, ending up in landfill (which takes 450 years to break down) or in our oceans. So it’s no surprise that we are big fans of reusable face masks. Now you can enjoy extra protection with these amazing antiviral masks. Playa’s invisible anti microbial layers have been independently tested and proven to kill COVID particles on impact.
