About Us
On a Saturday morning, I’ll often be the first in the paper shop collecting the Guardian, and will spend a lazy few hours reading the supplements with a several course breakfast. Later, I’ll browse online magazines, reading everything from opinion pieces to interviews to fashion segments or celebrity gossip. I love the joy journalism brings to my weekend, but with this also came a frustration.
​
Why was I being marketed fast fashion brands and encouraged to purchase never-ending new pieces to update my already sufficient wardrobe? Why were the links in articles that recommended everything from films to books to yoga mats sending me to Amazon? Why was sustainability and activism an afterthought, a one-off article imploring me to do more for the planet before I turned the page and was confronted with yet more consumerism?
This is where the idea for imprint came from. It aims to be everything your weekend reading should be - informative, entertaining, beautifully curated - and more. It aims to empower you, to inspire you, to encourage you to consider your imprint upon the world and make concrete and lasting changes in your own life. It aims to be a call to action. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy putting it together.
