Ash and Mary Clothing is UK based sustainable brand and a brain-child of a mother of two beautiful little girls- Ash(5) and Mary(3).<\/p>

Being a mother to two toddlers had changed my perspectives in how I view the world. Where my heart had always wanted to help and be there for the people I love and care about; I wanted so much more than that. My aim was to reach out and help raise awareness regarding various social issues that are untouched by a lot of parents. For me to be able to raise my children with a conscious was important as it reflected who I am. Children learn from examples and mine look up to me as their role model. Being a parent, the pressure to be my best self was mounting and I was clueless about where to begin my journey.\"\"
As soon as I discovered the platform for creating a brand that represents my ethos as well as inspiration, I did not hold back. My passion had led me to jump right into the core of it and use it to my advantage of creating Ash and Mary Clothing.<\/p>

Since I was not a working mother, it was difficult to adjust myself to want something more than just that. Five years had gone, and I was not getting any younger- my first thought to myself was the anxiety that had developed in these few years would absolutely bring me down or better yet not allow me to succeed. It was time to say goodbye to that monster and fight my way through to earn a living for my children.<\/p>

Creativity ran in my veins, the love for arts and dance and nature was buried deep within; although on the surface, I was just a mother. Being frowned upon for wanting something more, I took it as a challenge and changed the course of my life. I was no longer the depressed little girl with two children struggling to survive. I was a warrior! And this is my battlefield.\"\"
In the last few months of the business, I have seen many ups and downs, especially the lockdowns were not in any businesses' favour. However, Ash and Mary Clothing is handled by a very stubborn and patient person- me! And Ash and Mary Clothing is here to stay.<\/p>

There are too many hard- working parents out there, who just want their children to have the best life. The respect and love I have for these parents is incomparable to anything I have ever felt. I was in your shoes and I see you guys! The responsibilities and sacrifices a parent makes for their children is beyond selfless and pure. There is no form of love purer than this. If you are one of them and if you are reading this- be proud of yourself because you are in fact doing your best.<\/p>

We all know that the world is changing and we need to change with it.<\/p>

The fashion industry has a massive environmental impact, but most people don't realise just how much damage it does to our planet.<\/p>

Ash and Mary Clothing was founded on principles of sustainability and social responsibility. Our clothes are designed in the UK using sustainable materials such as organic cotton and recycled circular fibre. All our products are ethically made by skilled workers who earn a fair wage for their work.
