I want the Black and Purple ones quite badly, but don't have the cash to buy them and wouldn't have them for Whitby - have steered someone else in their direction too. They look good.
It's true that their business practices (at least, their claims of them which I am sure would have been pulled apart by now if they weren't true) please me, but what I am equally pleased by is the sensible shipping rate, the low cost, and the idea that purchasing this product is supporting a company starting out with good practices. I mean, a lot of firms will charge you extra for your conscience - if they charge less and you get better quality and a clear conscience at the same time, not buying their product would be total idiocy ;)
