So the news is out - we are launching our third collection this month and are super excited to share it with you! Firstly we just want to say a massive THANK YOU for supporting us since the birth of Unoa, without your love and belief in our concept and brand, we really wouldn't be here today, so thank you again. Colour Palette Of course we have stuck to our roots and created a super soft, versatile and affordable 'athleisure' range, including our most loved 100% organic Aletca T's and our signature Loida and Lexi sweatshirt and sweatpant combo. Yes we have our core everyday blacks, greys and whites in but we have also come up with a gorgeous colour...
Here are a few pointers in an affordable and easy direction to help you kick-start your ethical living! We’re bombarded by easy consumerism every day, but the effects that this has on our planet is rarely seen in mainstream media. A few of our favourite Instagram accounts help remind us of better choices and the statistics of mass waste… check out what we’ve discovered!

Straws and cosmetic micro-beads being the most obvious type, but just noticing when plastic is used excessively and unnecessarily can really spark awareness. For example, ordering online often entails...
What a start to the year we’ve had! If you haven’t heard via our newsletter (we give you a sneaky discount each month, go ahead and sign up at unoa.co.uk to also be the first to know our behind the scenes news!), we went on a visit to our factory in Pakistan, but a little more about that later… this week we had an amazing shoot which we just want to tell you all about!

We love an impromptu shoot at Unoa, and this week we saw there was some January sun! So...
We feel like one of the best things about winter is the food! Warming, comforting and filled with flavour to help get you through the dark evenings. As always, we’re trying to source the most ethically minded inspiration, so have gathered together a few recipes that require the least amount of single use plastic, and can be sourced at local grocery stores. Have a look at our favourite, earth-friendly winter warmers… Gingery Carrot and Sweet Potato Soup Ingredients: • 2 tablespoons olive oil • 1/2 large yellow onion, diced • 2 cloves garlic, sliced • 1 to 1 1/2-inch piece of ginger, minced • 1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1/2-inch cubes • 3/4 pound carrots, sliced •...
With only 18 days left before Christmas, we know that this is about the time when most of the shopping actually gets done! We’ve put together a scrutinised-over gift a day to help give you the best possible inspiration and options for gift giving. These are all, of course, ethically inclined and practicing businesses which we love; supporting small independents is a wonderful route to go during the festive season, and when they’re all eco-friendly too - Christmas doesn’t get much better! 1. Stationary is a classic for gifts. Planners and notebooks help get everyone into that mindset of a fresh start for the new year. A favourite of ours is Nikki Strange - with everything from various stationary to...
