Hello, were BRiMM. Were a planet positive shop, journal and collective that believe its possible to live bright and tread light. Lower impact living shouldnt mean living less. Infact we think it can mean more. More thought, more care, more colour. More joy. Our mission is to make planet positive living the default. And in support of this have designed a revolutionary model where every purchase powers positive change. We will be investing 10% of our revenue in initiatives with the brands we stock to help them lower their impact faster. Insetting, not offsetting. Join as a member today and help us kickstart this flywheel of change.

Did you know that wine packaging hasn’t changed in over 200 years? No wonder it doesn’t suit the way we live our lives… At Laylo we source top quality wines - the sorts that would cost at least £12 in a fancy wine merchant - and put them into boxes customers can feel proud to have on their countertop. Here’s why… ⌛ Our boxes stay fresh for 6 weeks from opening so you can enjoy ‘just one glass’ 🌍 They are much kinder to the planet; they generate 90% less carbon than the equivalent volume of wine in glass bottles and are 100% recyclable ✨ We love telling stories about the wines, wine regions and people behind the juice. Boxed wine is the perfect blank canvas. Were hiring across all areas of the business... Fancy joining us?
