Trench Talk With Matt Reynolds

Tessa Carroll is the Co-Founder of both the luxury accessories label Ahimsa Collective and The Common Good Company. Tessa was brought up to turn off the taps when brushing her teeth and to make sure lights weren’t left on unnecessarily, so she developed a keen interest in the environment early in life. That upbringing coupled with her interest in design and fashion has led to the creation of two unique and very impressive companies.  Ahimsa Collective is a luxury accessories label, intent on producing products with no harm. Their website, theahimsacollective.com, explains exactly who they are: We are part of a new generation of change agents and thinkers. We focus on both environmental and social responsibility. We operate as a luxury fashion label; while inciting change. We aim to not only reduce the fashion industry’s footprint, but attempt to reverse it.   Ahimsa Collective bags are made from pineapple leaves and recycled materials that would otherwise go to landfill.
