Our Sustainability Story


Just like you, we love our beautiful planet and are always looking for ways to ensure we are treating it, and the people who live here, kindly.

We have made lots of positive changes to ensure we tread lightly on Earth, but we know this isn’t ‘IT’. There is lots more to be done. Our goal is to run a net-zero carbon business that leaves no footprint. It's a tall order that won't happen overnight, but we are committed to making it happen, which means it will.

We will keep you posted on our journey, and in the meantime, here are some of the ways we are giving back and ensuring your jewellery is made ethically and with love.


Recycled Materials

Recycled Sterling Silver & Gold

We use recycled Sterling Silver & gold to craft our jewellery. Approximately 98% of the precious metal we use is actually recycled. We are working hard to get this to 100%.

We have also introduced new Carbon Neutral designs, The Molten Orb and Wabi Sabi Collection. They utilise offcuts and old jewellery samples, which are then crafted to create beautiful new pieces.

Care & Repair

Forever not Throwaway

We want our jewellery to be loved and cherished forever. It’s not only good for the soul it is also more sustainable. Our Care & Repair Service helps future-proof your favourite pieces, from adding new personalisation or charms to replating and polishing, our aim is to enable you to wear and enjoy your jewellery for many years.

Back to the Classroom

Back to the Classroom: Becoming a NetZero+ Business

When we made a commitment to becoming a true NetZero+ Business, we wanted to engage experts in this field to help make this happen. So, we are delighted to be working with the design and sustainability team at Brighton University to explore new and inventive ways to help us treat the planet kindly.

Funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, the Design Exchange Partnership (DEP) enables us to relook at all areas of the business; from the materials used - to the physical workshop space- through to the meaning attached to each final ‘forever keepsake’ made.

Founder, Alice says “Going back to the classroom has really sparked our imaginations. The team are excited to be trying some original ways to help create a circular business and ensure we are always sustainable centric.”

Ethical Sourcing

We are dedicated to ensuring that every stage of the manufacturing process is both kind to the environment and respectful to all the people involved. Alice, our founder, has personally handpicked and visited all our suppliers and will only work with partners who offer complete transparency and meet our high standards of quality and conduct.

Conscious Consumerism

Posh Totty Designs believes that a purchase should hold meaning for our customers and continue to do so for many years to come. We are making forever pieces, rather than fleeting fashion pieces. We represent the opposite of throw away consumerism and hand make high quality, original pieces that become treasured keepsakes and modern-day heirlooms.

Happy Packaging

Our packaging and even the bubble wrap is recyclable. Our brochure is FSC certified, and all our leaflets are printed on 100% recycled paper. We are continually reviewing the business to look for ways to be more eco-conscious and promise our customers that we are dedicated to protecting our planet.

Giving back

We’re passionate about the charity partnerships we undertake and are truly invested and believe in the work they do. As with all charity work we undertake, proceeds go directly to each organisation:

They include Women for Women International, Brighton Women’s Centre and the Rockinghorse Children’s Charity.

We also look to support local and national causes and events that are close to our hearts.

We plant trees with Ecologi

Science tells us that trees are the best way to absorb carbon from our atmosphere. With your help we have planted over 50 thousand trees with Ecologi and numerous certified reforestation schemes around the globe. Tree planting is one of the best tools to prevent our planet from rising above 1.5C , that’s why we‘ve made it our business to donate a percentage from each sale we make, to plant a brand new (totally incredible, magical) tree.

Now we have achieved our goal with Ecologi, we are working on our next venture to help protect our planet and become a carbon-neutral business. Watch this space!

Living Wage Employer
Living Wage Employer

The Living Wage foundation is an independent organisation campaigning for businesses to pay above the governments suggested ‘National Living wage’ and instead, pay an actual real living wage reflective of everyday living costs . Through public consensus the LWF have calculated an hourly figure that is realistic to cover this.

Some businesses that can afford to pay the Real living wage choose to put profit over people, we are not that type of business. As a small, close-knit team we care about each other and the livelihood of our staff .This is why we made the decision to ensure all our team were at the very least, meeting the Real living wage.
