Value #1

Sustainable materials

When choosing materials for our garments, first and foremost, they must be sustainable. There are very few materials which are 100% carbon neutral or negative but our aim is to always ensure their impact on our planet and local communities is as minimal as can be.

Other considerations include the last-ability, recyclability. Making sure the garment and its materials has a long lifespan as possible.

Value #2

Responsible sourcing

We go further, and we are dedicated to sustainable sourcing. We take time and consideration when choosing our suppliers, always visiting and building a relationship before we agree to do any production.

When looking at a new supplier our concerns are; ethical production, adult only labour, fair working conditions and practices, adequate social care for workers and fair remuneration. We require industry standard accreditation and audits where available and insist on practices which go further than fair trade.

Value #3

Responsible Packaging

The individual product bags we use are a compostable, naturally biodegradable, transparent bag supplied by the leading global packaging brand, TIPA®. Their philosophy, along with ours, is to replace all bad plastics with more sustainable, compostable options.

The bags are made from a combination of fossil based and bio-based polymers – both of which, are fully compostable. The packaging is microplastic free and can be fully composted either at home and /or in an industrial composter, leaving no waste behind whilst replenishing topsoil and maintaining soil fertility.

If you do not have the facilities to dispose of the bags at home, you can contact TIPA directly who have compostable collection points across varies cities across the globe. 

The mailing bags used for all on-line orders are made from 100% recycled materials and contain biodegradable additive to assist with the biodegrading process.

We have a strict no-plastics policy on all our buttons and trims, and all our swing-tags and sock banderoles are made from FSC certified paper.
