Sustainability

A Littl goes a long way

Ethical practices and sustainable choices, built into everything we make.

With ethical and climate consciousness at an all-time high, The Littl stands for ethical practices and sustainable choices across the entire production process. Offering a high-end jewellery selection with integrity is, and always will be, a priority.

Ethical sourcing

We know the challenges of providing precious materials responsibly, so we work closely with our suppliers to source and produce as ethically as possible.

  • Most of our .925 silver jewellery is made from recycled silver.
  • Every piece is nickel-free.

Re-used & recycled materials

We give materials a second life wherever we can, in the studio and the office.

  • Almost all of our sterling silver designs are made from recycled sterling silver.
  • We re-use the cardboard boxes our deliveries arrive in for storage, and keep many for future office moves.
  • Any bubble wrap and zip-lock bags from suppliers are set aside to be re-used in the office.

Eco-friendly packaging

From the mailer to the gift box, our packaging is chosen to tread lightly.

  • All bin bags and sticky tape are biodegradable (from Bio-Gone).
  • Every order ships in a mailer made from 100% biodegradable and compostable materials (from Hero Packaging).
  • Our packaging is plastic-free and 100% recyclable.
  • Our clean, minimal gift boxes are made to be re-used, and can also be recycled.

Low-waste operations

We build sustainability into how we design, plan, make and trade every day.

  • We recycle all paper, cardboard, plastics, cans and bottles in our office recycling bin.
  • We're paperless — customer records, invoices, statements and company communications are all handled electronically.
  • No piece of chain or jewellery part is wasted. Some designs are built around the leftovers — the Thick Drawn Cable Chain Earrings are made from chain that's too short to become a bracelet.
  • We use real glasses and plates at lunch instead of disposables.
  • We accommodate remote work where we can, to cut unnecessary commuting.

Made by hand

Hand-made in our Sydney studio

Hand-making almost every piece in our Sydney studio is a conscious decision — it lets us reduce waste and keep our environmental footprint as small as possible.
