ABOUT US
Lost Isle Project is a British brand of simple, natural, sustainable accessories made exclusively from British wool.
Our collections are vibrant and fun. We don’t think hats are just for the winter either. Those summer nights on the beach, camping in the forest or dancing at one of the UK brilliant music festivals. We’ve got your hat for all seasons and reasons!
Great British Hats. A full celebration of homegrown British material and manufacturing.
Choose wool, champion British.
WHY WOOL
Globally, only 25% of clothing is made from natural fibres such as wool – the rest is made from fossil fuels. Our research showed that the effects of fast fashion, and now the pandemic, has only exacerbated the difficulties sheep farmers face in the UK, with many of them disposing of their fleeces rather than incur the cost of storing and transporting the raw material.
“…we’ve grown up with it for so long that most people have eventually forgotten about it [wool] and not realised that this is something special".”
The British wool industry is centuries old with a proud tradition of sheep farming. We have more sheep breeds than any other country and over 40,000 sheep farmers working hard across the British Isles.
Wools attributes are the star of the show. Renewable, sustainable, antibacterial, breathable, micro plastic -free, biodegradable, recyclable and grown right here on the British Isles.
We are here to champion and utilise British wool – a natural resource abundant across our Isle - It really that simple.
REASONS TO LOVE OUR HATS
100% British Wool
Lost Isle Project is a new brand of simple, natural, sustainable accessories made exclusively from British wool.
Made in England
All Lost Isle Project accessories are made in a small factory where certified British yarn is knitted on state-of-the-art machinery and hand-finished.
Sustainable
Wool has many sustainable attributes: it is natural, antibacterial, renewable and it can be recycled. A true super fibre.
Biodegradable
Wool is 100% biodegradable – at the end of its life the fibres will breakdown naturally, releasing nutrients back to the soil, it also breaks down in aquatic environments, leaving no microplastic pollution.
