Concept                                                                    

With 38 shops across the UK and Ireland, The Earth Collection is committed to providing you with a range of natural clothing, produced to the most exacting standards of care for both the wearer and the environment.

The philosophy behind The Earth Collection is to produce a line of garments with a minimal use of chemicals in the production phase and apply accessories and packaging made of recycled and natural materials.

The idea is to produce a line of products while respecting the environment, at a price that matches conventional garments. Because The Earth Collection has in excess of 400 outlets worldwide and there are only two production runs a year it is possible to greatly reduce overheads.  Furthermore, the management teams are very lean, with only small families running each country’s operation and the shops being privately owned. 

The Earth Collection is designed so that no one in the chain is exploited or unfairly treated, from the factory workers through to the retail customer who buys our products.

Philosophy                                                               

What started in 1993 as an idea based on a production of environmentally friendly T-shirts, has developed over the past 14 years into a major brand name producing and selling a wide range of products, made with the basic philosophy of respect for the environment we live in, and for the people we work with.

Today The Earth Collection is sold in 420 shops in 20 countries, and is expanding rapidly. Each individual shop is supported by a country distributor. In the UK and Ireland this is BCC UK and Ireland which in turn is supported by BCC Pacific, the owners and manufacturers of the brand.

The Earth Collection is still based on the same principles as when it started, and its success has proven that a lot of people agree that business can be made with a minimal negative impact on the environment.

Many jobs have been created, and today The Earth Collection family comprises a wide spectrum of people in many countries who make a living based on this simple idea.

Many loyal customers return time after time to buy new items. The Earth Collection believes that this is not only due to the environmental issues, but also because the clothes and accessories are attractive to wear, good value for money, natural classic designs and last but not least, because by wearing The Earth Collection you show that you care.

It is TEC's ambition that their brand and lifestyle concept will become a market leader in developing environmentally friendly products that contribute to helping our Earth remain beautiful.
