SLOW IS...
IT'S TIME TO SLOW DOWN
Slow living encourages us to be more mindful with our time and our choices. It is living consciously, purposeful with what our brains and bodies consume, considerate of the planet's resources for future generations. It is sustainable, local, organic, and whole.
SUSTAINABLE
S
Showing kindness to our community, our world, and ourselves through more thoughtful consumption. Let’s stop asking too much of ourselves and our environment.
LOCAL
Making meaningful connections within our community. From businesses to nature, to food and materials, make the most of what is around you.
L
ORGANIC
O
It’s time to get back to basics and embrace ourselves for who we really are with no apologies.
Let’s chase less and live more.
WHOLE
W
Connecting with ourselves, others, and the world around us. Spend your time on what you value most in life, on what makes you feel stimulated and fulfilled.

Like you, we want to move our buying away from being led by habits of convenience – we want less waste, less plastic, less miles, less often, and we want the opportunities to make that choice. That’s why we only work with UK brands who prioritise creating with purpose, with thoughtfulness, with our slow values.
In the Olive + George shop, you can explore our carefully curated gift boxes featuring a range of sustainable, design-led gifts for the entire family. We’re here to help you gift consciously.
“SLOW DOWN AND ENJOY LIFE.
IT'S NOT ONLY THE SCENERY YOU MISS BY GOING TOO FAST
- YOU ALSO MISS THE SENSE OF WHERE YOU ARE GOING AND WHY.”
