CDUK Story

The simple idea that inspired our founder, Stevie, to start CDUK.

"While working on a related project, I was walking through College Green in Bristol – a place for sharing ideas, protesting injustices, and chilling with friends. A handwritten sign was left on the bench that read “98 people are sleeping on the streets tonight. That seems like a solvable problem”. I completely agreed.

Every time, but especially around the wintertime, my heart breaks for the people shivering on the streets, always wishing I could do something more to support them.

Believing business should be about more than just making money, we will not just be another ethical brand as we will use our resources to directly contribute to solving homelessness in our community."

MIBS (Made In Bristol Shorts)

Mibs are comfortable, practical shorts designed to be flexible for both fit and occasion, made using organic materials and prints from Bristolian artists. Most importantly, we’re helping people in our city escape homelessness through employment, providing transferable skills and a living wage.

Pull on a pair of Mibs, and you’ll find the waistband and legs are designed to be turned up or down to fit your body shape. So with stunning prints by local artists printed onto Organic Cotton sewn on the inside seams, you’ll be revealing a subtle streak of rebelliousness as you roll. After all, there’s only one way to truly fit in here – by standing out!

Made from 100% sustainable plastic-free fabric, they’re comfortable, with just enough flex to adapt to your frame without stretching or tearing. So you’ll wear them in quickly – and wear them out slowly.
