An open letter from our family to yours.
What a year it's been, we've had an absolute blast and achieved way more than we thought possible thanks to our flock. 'Business as usual’ looked very different in 2022, with global disruptions, turbulent economies and the growing effects of climate change. This helped push us into new ways of thinking, and knowing that we could change the outcomes for our partners, stakeholders and team spurred us on.
Bird x Love The Oceans
Bird has partnered with Love The Oceans in Mozambique to help support them in establishing a Marine Protected Area in the Inhambane Province, using a bottom-up, community-led approach through research, education and diving.
Bird x Gregory Mason Cloth
Greg Mason AROI is a modern figurative painter creating atmospheric works that are visually and technically striking whilst holding a deeper narrative. He is an associate of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters, Professional Oil Painting Ambassador for Cass Art and a recent finalist on both Sky Arts Portrait and Landscape Artist of the Year TV shows.
Captured in oils as only Gregory can do, this cloth is a celebration of our Blackcap frame and beautifully speaks to our mission to reframe the world for the better.

Tales from the flock : Evie's Beach Clean
It's a brilliant sunny day at the height of summer in the UK. Most people at the beach are sunbathing or in the sea. But not Evie. Evie is 9 years old and has been cleaning beaches since she was 6, often getting up as early as 5:30am to head to her local beach. You might say Evie is a pro (at least we think so).
Bird x Steve McCracken Cloth
Steve McCracken aka 'NONE HERE' is a gifted artist from Devon, who spends much of his time filling the streets with colour; painting and pasting wherever he goes. Steve's iconic cloth design brings a chaotic energy using his signature bird head symbol. The single bird head coloured in represents the individual whilst the others stand for the issues and challenges we face day to day. At the same time it expresses the idea that everyone has something special about them. You have something special about you, as does the person next to you and the person next to them.
