• Environmental Initiatives - Dewerstone have planted over 30,000 trees in Indonesia with Eden Reforestation Projects, who aim to reduce extreme poverty and restore healthy forests by employing local people to plant millions of trees every year.

The team at Dewerstone are such all-round good eggs that when the Covid pandemic temporarily halted their plans to open a new shop on Gili Trawangan in Indonesia, they used the premises to run a food parcel scheme for local people instead. But then that’s kind of their thing. Right from the start, they’ve been trying to make the point that businesses can make a real difference when they genuinely care about trying to do good stuff.

Based in Dartmoor National Park, Dewerstone’s range is based around eye-catching screen-printed t-shirts, vibrant board shorts, and timeless sunglasses with frames made of wood or plant-based acetate.

And if you think the quality of their products is top-notch, just wait until you see their environmental and social responsibility credentials. Not only do they donate a chunk of their gains to non-profit partners like Save our Rivers and Gili Eco Trust, but the HQ where they screen print their organic cotton T-shirts runs off renewable energy, the whole company is certified carbon neutral, and they plant a tree for every garment that rolls out of the door. 

In January 2022, Dewerstone even achieved B Corp certification (a demanding independent assessment that’s pretty much the gold standard of social and environmental performance), scoring a whopping 98.6. Not bad for a company that only started out hand-printing T-shirts in its founder’s garage back in 2013.
