SUSTAINABILITY 

We are committed to reducing waste and promoting mindful consumption through high-quality, durable garments that stand the test of time. We do this while consistently tweaking our practises and keeping sustainability as a core part of our brand. 

Some ways we practise sustainability;

• Quality

We create garments that are high quality and made to last in your wardrobe for years to come. We urge our customers to make informed and conscious decisions when purchasing garments and treat them as lifelong pieces rather than fads or trends.

• Innovative Design Practices:

From the inception of each garment, we collaborate with our trusted manufactures using AI Avatar technology.  This revolutionary process allows us to sample and perfect designs digitally before cutting a single piece of fabric, reducing fabric waste significantly.

• Thoughtful Production:

We embrace limited quantity production runs to ensure every garment we create has purpose and meaning, avoiding overproduction. We only order what we need and consciously avoid over buying.

When we say pieces are limited - they really are. 

We also aim to create garments that are not confined by trends that promote over consumption and ultimately end up in wastelands.

• Sustainable Packaging:

Our packaging is minimal, recyclable, and consciously designed to leave as little impact on the environment as possible. We use cardboard mailers to ship garments to customers. Our pieces are shipped to us in plastic garments bags that are made from recycled materials. This is a small but important effort to keep our practises as environmentally friendly as we can.

We are constantly looking for new ways to improve our practises and protect our environment. If you have any questions or suggestions we would love to hear from you !
