Fashion Conscience

Shop locally and be inspired by vintage and designer pieces at this fast-growing Cornwall-born fashion label

- 

Cornwall is ahead of the curve when it comes to responding to the climate crisis and supporting more responsible shopping habits – and one new shop embodies both priorities.

Independent Cornish clothing brand Syrup & SALT has opened in Wadebridge after expanding from a shared space. The brand is the brainchild of fashion designer Kato Harrison whose ethos is to encourage a more responsible way of shopping for clothes.

“Fashion is at a pivotal place right now where sustainability and repurposing is about to go mainstream,” says Kato. “By moving to a new shop I have more space to stock my ‘Reworked’ collection alongside my popular sweatshirt and t-shirt designs. ‘Reworked’ is a treasure trove of contemporary thrift finds, and lots of the clothes I have sourced, reworked and repurposed to make them unique.”
