The story

About Seek Collective

Owner · Carol Miltimore is the owner of Seek Collective.

Seek Collective publicly names the artisan partner at each production stage in India, covering cotton growing, yarn spinning, handloom weaving, block printing, natural dyeing and stitching, with final stitching at a women owned studio in Bangalore.

The main gaps are the absence of third party certification, no named cotton farm or spinner, and pay described only as above minimum wage rather than a verified living wage.

Wear it longer

Work out the real cost per wear

Use the price and realistic wear count to compare long-term value.

£0.00 per wear

Cost per wear is the honest test behind "buy less, buy better": a £200 coat worn 300 times beats a £25 one worn 5 times. It rewards wearing what you own and choosing things built to last.
