Alex Monroe

British jeweller Alex Monroe has long supported conservation projects with his collections of quirky and wearable nature-inspired pieces. Having supported previously supported environmental organisation Friends of the Earth by including a bee-saving kit with every piece sold from his Beehive range, this year both the charity and Monroe are turning their attention towards the crisis in our oceans. For every piece sold from Monroe's new Oceans collection - a line of marine-inspired rings, bracelets and necklaces depicting fish, shells, turtles, whales and other sea creatures in recycled gold and silver plate - £10 will be donated to Friends of the Earth efforts to end plastic pollution and protect the oceans.

Montesogno

London-based luxury fashion brand Montesogno was founded on the ethos that, rather than donating to animal conservation organisations as an act of charity, this money is merely what is owed to the animals and environment around us for the inspiration and materials they provide for each collection. Crafted from sustainable materials and delivered in plastic-free recyclable packaging, Montesogno recently teamed up with international sports brand Prendas Ciclismo to create a cycling jersey emblazoned with Montesogno's marine-inspire Animage print. 10% of the proceeds from the sale of each jersey will be donated to the Whitley Fund for Nature to help support ocean conservation projects across the globe.

Mafia Bags

Argentina-based brand Mafia is the brainchild of professional kite surfer Marcos Mafia and his sister Paz and gives worn out windsurf and boat sails a new lease of life by turning them in to bags. Having found huge success in the US and Japan with their colourful designs and hard-wearing accessories, the brand is now expanding to the UK and Europe.

Handmade in California, not only do Mafia's bags stop sails heading to landfill or polluting the oceans, but because there are so many different sail designs each one is completely unique.
