The Collective is a pop-up concept created by three London-based independent brands, ONE Essentials, Maalo Jewellery and Saywood Studio to showcase brands who are joining our mission to create a world with products that are considerate of both people and planet.
Each event houses a curation of independent brands, featuring clothing, jewellery, bags, homeware and scent, with a contemporary and sustainable, lifestyle aesthetic in a boutique store experience. Each time bringing the experience to a local high street hub to engage with consumers in their local community.
