Simple Supply Chain: Simplicity is key when it comes to sustainability. Fewer steps, fewer manufacturers and fewer ingredients can often mean fewer emissions and less pollution. What it always means is that when a business says their products are sustainable, it's a lot easier to verify. That's why we love simple supply chains!

Organic cotton: Organic cotton has some major benefits over the regular stuff, especially when it comes to pesticides water, and carbon emissions. Organic cotton farmers use only organic-approved fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides from plants, animals and minerals, unlike the traditional stuff, which often relies on petroleum-based fertilizers, synthetic chemicals, and pesticides. These chemicals aren’t just toxic, they often get into waterways, polluting the area around them. Speaking of water, over 80% of the land used for organic cotton is rainfed. That’s a lot more effective than many conventional cotton fields which require more water due to ineffective irrigation systems. Lastly, you’ve got emissions, organic farming methods can also sequester more carbon in the soil, through practices like crop rotation and reduced tillage. Studies suggest that organic cotton production reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 94% compared to conventional cotton.

Fairtrade: Fairtrade goes beyond just a feel-good label. It guarantees farmers in developing countries a minimum price for their crops, often well above market value. It also ensures workers receive fair wages and work in safe conditions, with protection against child labor and discrimination. Finally, Fairtrade promotes environmentally sustainable practices by encouraging reduced use of harmful chemicals and promoting biodiversity. By choosing Fairtrade you're not just getting a quality product, you're contributing to a fairer and more sustainable world.

Locally Sourced: We love local! By reducing transportation distances for raw materials and finished products, local sourcing helps minimize greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. This translates to cleaner air and a smaller carbon footprint. Local sourcing also fosters stronger connections within communities. It supports local businesses and farmers, injecting revenue back into the local economy, and creating more job opportunities.

Organic Dyes: Organic dyes are paired with water-based binders, eliminating the use of harsh chemicals throughout the dyeing process. This eco-friendly approach ensures the safety of both the wearer and the environment, from initial production to the garment's eventual disposal.

Azo Free Dyes: While widely used, azo dyes raise concerns due to their potential health risks. These synthetic dyes may contain carcinogenic heavy metals and can be absorbed through the skin, accumulating in the body. This poses a risk for both workers who produce azo-dyed goods and consumers who wear them. No Azo, No problem!

Biodegradable: Traditional materials, like plastics, can take centuries to decompose in those landfills, leaching harmful chemicals and threatening wildlife. Biodegradable materials, are broken down naturally by microorganisms a much shorter timeframe, usually a few months or years – returning to harmless components like organic matter, water, and CO2.
