Ethical and Sustainability Policy

Our Commitment to People & Our Planet

At Victoria Eggs, we believe that beautiful products should also be kind to the planet — and the people who make them. Our commitment to people and our planet is at the heart of everything we do.

We’re committed to sustainability not because it’s a trend, but because it’s our responsibility to tread lightly on the planet. We want to help shape a better future — drawing inspiration from the past, where quality counts, waste is reduced, and what we make truly matters. From eliminating single-use plastics to choosing only UK-made or responsibly sourced materials, we scrutinise every detail. We’re continually implementing creative ways to reuse and recycle materials throughout our production.

Every item we make is crafted with care using sustainable, ethical practices, and we’re always finding new ways to reduce our environmental impact.

Since starting out on a chilly Spitalfields market stall in 2011, Victoria has been passionate about building a business rooted in craftsmanship, conscience, and quality. Her founding vision was simple — to make everything in the UK using only the finest, ethical, and sustainable materials. That principle still stands proudly today.

We work exclusively with UK-based manufacturers whose values align with our own — from environmental responsibility to fair, safe working conditions. Producing solely in the UK isn’t the easiest or cheapest option, but it ensures transparency, traceability, and exceptional quality in every product we make.

Our customers share this ethos, choosing thoughtfully made pieces designed to last a lifetime, rather than short-lived, mass-produced alternatives. From ceramic mugs to woven labels, everything is proudly produced and packaged in the UK.

And if we can’t make a product the right way — ethically, locally, and sustainably — then we simply don’t make it. It’s that simple.

This is our way of showing respect — for our customers, for the people who craft our products, and for the planet we share. We’re proud to be doing things the right way, so you can feel proud to own and gift Victoria Eggs pieces.

Our Manufacturing Partners

We support the UK industry by sourcing quality products from suppliers within this country. We assure they have proper accreditation and quality working conditions. To comply with our comprehensive list of social, ethical, and health and safety guidelines, we research our suppliers’ sustainability and ethical policies before partnering with them.

Products & packaging:

All products are manufactured and packaged in the UK.

• Our textiles manufacturer is SEDEX-registered and SMETA 4 Pillar accredited and the cotton is fully traceable from accredited yarn suppliers and mills who are either SEDEX registered or STeP audited by OEKO-TEX. They are printed using environmentally-friendly REACH compliant water-based inks and all other chemicals used in cleaning processes are environmentally safe and REACH compliant. under great working conditions.
• Our skilled manufacturer, Duchess China, is one of the only factories left in the UK that makes everything hands-on from start to finish in their factory. Our ceramics are made with clay from Cornwall, and in order to ensure as little waste as possible, we reuse energy and send any broken tiles to a local tile company that reuses and recycles the clay. To learn more about how our ceramics are so lovingly made, visit here.
• Prints, cards, and wraps are crafted on British-made, FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) paper. FSC is an organization that promotes the practice of sustainable forestry worldwide, establishing environmentally friendly and socially and economically responsibility to our forests for generations to come.
