Ginger & Jardine

Ginger & Jardine is a new sustainable bamboo country clothing brand, based in Creeting St Peter, near Stowmarket. This brand specialises in sustainable bamboo clothing that is not only comfortable but it is stylish, ethical and sustainable! Its founder, Lynne, was frustrated by the lack of clothing designed for country outings that uses sustainable and comfortable fabrics. She has made visits to UK manufacturers and has been greeted with no end of help and support. Lynne wanted to create practical yet stylish high-quality clothing that doesn’t cost the earth.
