A SECOND COLLECTION FOR CARA & THE SKY Designed in London and made in the UK, independent British knitwear brand, Cara & The Sky has just launched its second capsule knitwear collection consisting of 13 colourful pieces influenced by the whimsical and urban. The brand has created the unexpected through mixing stitches and clashing colour, twists and stripes, as seen in our hero piece. “One of the new knits from the collection includes the Bella Jumper shown here. It has been an incredible journey, and after a rollercoaster couple of months I’m absolutely thrilled to announce the launch of our second knitwear collection. I’m obsessed with colour and draw huge influence from nature, so my second collection consists of knitted jumpers, cardigans, dresses and knitted accessories,“ says the brand.

A DOG’S DINNER Marleybones has just launched a sustainable and highly nutritious dog food subscription that has nothing to hide. Their meals are made entirely from human-grade ingredients grown or raised on sustainable and ethical farms such as Packington Farm and contains single-sourced protein, fresh vegetables and a bundle of superfoods such as quinoa and chia that are also grown in British soil.

The two founders, Josephine Bager and Mikala Skov, are on a mission to restore consumer confidence in the integrity of dog food and challenge an industry dominated by vague ingredients lists and unverified claims! Every step of the product’s journey is available to customers by scanning a QR-code on Marleybones’ meals, leaving no doubt of what the meal contains, where it comes from, who was involved and how the supply chain impacts the surrounding environment.

Josephine Bager, co-founder of Marleybones said: “We’re aiming to improve more than our dogs’ lives but also the lives of farming animals and unnecessary waste. Using real ingredients from conscious farms in the UK helps protect our vulnerable earth and all it has to offer.”

Mikala Skov, co-founder of Marleybones, adds: “When we started, we knew we had to take a different approach to the existing pet food industry. The regulatory standards currently allow by-products that have no nutritional benefits to speak of, in processed dog foods. Coupled with an overwhelming number of claims of content and quality, it becomes impossible to understand what we are actually feeding our dogs.”

The meals are tailored to each dog based on the daily calories needed for the breed, weight, gender and activity level, and delivered directly to subscribers’ doorstep across the UK – every four weeks.

Subscriptions are available with price starting at £1.60 per day. Visit www.marleybones.com to learn more.
