Step 1

GO CRUELTY FREE

“This year, I hope you will all join me in having a cruelty-free Christmas by not giving any gifts that harm our fellow creatures. There are so many desirable and luxurious choices available now. My favourite is our Frayme Mylo™ bag. It’s crafted from a vegan alternative to animal leather which uses mycelium, the underground root system of mushrooms.”

Step 2

ADD MORE MUSHROOMS TO THE MIX

“In keeping with the festive fungi spirit, why not add mushrooms to your holiday dinners? I love cooking with them as they take on flavours easily, so they can be a delicious and substantial vegan substitute for meat in most recipes. Christmas is all about kindness, and that includes not eating our animal friends.”

Step 3

BAKE IN A BOOK

“If you are like me and love reading over the festive holidays, I highly recommend ‘Entangled Life’ by my friend and brilliant biologist Merlin Sheldrake. This book is part of what kicked off my fascination with fungi, and helped to inspire my Summer 2022 collection and campaign.”

Step 4

SPRINKLE WITH AN EVERGREEN GIFT

“I love celebrating Christmas, but I hate the waste of consumerism. Give loved ones presents that you think they will cherish not only in the moment, but for the rest of their lives. I truly believe in quality, not quantity. A timeless gift shows love both to your recipient and Mother Earth.”

Step 5

FINISH WITH A CHARITABLE TWIST

“If you feel like you have enough stuff in your life, you can always suggest to your loved ones to donate to a cause of your choosing instead of getting you a gift. I love PETA, Humane Society International and Greenpeace, though there are so many others to choose from.”
