Adventures In India: Visiting Our Producers
Hello! I’m Bonnie, the production co-ordinator for Little Green Radicals and in October 2019 I visited our producers in India with Josie, our designer.
- Bonnie with our lovely team from Logotech -
I had an amazing time, meeting the colleagues who I speak to daily about our designs and the talented people who make them. We oversaw the development of samples for our Autumn Winter 20 collection, making sure all the little details were just right as this makes all the difference to the quality and style of the finished product.

Alongside another of our producers, Silk and Fab based in Delhi, we came up with some lovely new products to use up waste fabric, including Tote Bags, which will be added to our Spring Summer collection.

Our wonderful suppliers were so welcoming and I want to thank them for their dedication and the beautiful garments they make.
