Welcome to this month’s Conscious Edit, where I highlight stylish finds, experiences and investment pieces designed to lighten your footprint while making a positive impact on both the planet and your wardrobe…
Witnessing the brutal and relentless attacks on the innocent civilian population of Gaza over the past two years has led me to consistently use my voice to amplify Palestinian stories and raise awareness of the ongoing man-made humanitarian crisis - which now finds itself suffering a Stage 5 Famine, as a direct result of months of bombardment and aid access restriction. Many of you have reached out asking how you can offer meaningful support... So, this month’s edit is dedicated to just that.
Alongside fashion and accessories by Palestinian designers, I’ve included everyday essentials like olive oil and handmade soap, a restaurant that celebrates Palestinian food and community - and their beautiful recipe book to bring the flavours of Palestine into your own kitchen. I’ve also highlighted ways to contribute through purchases that support well-known charities with projects on the ground, as well as a concert in aid of Choose Love, where music becomes a way of coming together in solidarity.
Every recommendation here is more than just a product or an event - it’s an opportunity to preserve heritage, sustain livelihoods, and directly support communities in desperate need.

Please sign Save The Children’s petition demanding Kier Starmer take urgent action to protect Palestinian children in Gaza and the West Bank. Without an immediate ceasefire and full humanitarian access, famine will spread, and more innocent lives will be lost.
