Frugi

Frugi dreams of a world without waste, and creates sustainable clothing and accessories for children using only organic and recycled materials. Frugi was acquired by Refined Brands, the parent company of fellow Cornwall-based ethical fashion brand Celtic & Co, in November 2022.

Our journey with Frugi

True acquired Frugi in 2018. Its ethical credentials, unique designs and highly engaged and loyal fan base made it stand out as an ideal fit for True. True added to the business in 2020 when sustainable nappies business 'Tots Bots' and 'Bloom & Nora' were acquired. Frugi was acquired by Refined Brands, the parent company of fellow Cornwall-based ethical fashion brand Celtic & Co, in November 2022.
