SUSTAINABILITY & SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Feel good, soft and stylish clothing and accessories that don't cost the earth :) Here's how we care for people and planet:

All clothing blanks we use are ethically sourced and sustainably manufactured  conforming to both the Oeko-Tex Certification Standard and GOTS/Soil Association Organic criteria.

 

  Oeko-Tex – Our supply partners have The OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 Certification which is designed to ensure the effect the dyeing industry has on the environment is minimised and that garments are safe for consumers as well as the people who make and sell them.

 

GOTS Certified - Our supply partners exclusively use GOTS certified organic cotton: grown from seeds that have not been genetically modified (non-GMO) and cultivated without the use of chemical pesticides and fertilisers.

 


Our garment blanks are purposely chosen for being one of the industry leaders in quality. Our supply partners have ‘Fair Wear’ Leader Status - ensuring best practices in complex areas of garment manufacture and production.

 

OUR PARTNERS

Working with suppliers and production partners who share our values around environmental and social responsibility is of prime important to us.

For this reason we have consciously chosen to work with a family-run fulfilment company who source their garment blanks from a premium clothing supplier whose eco-friendly credentials and strong social responsibility align with our own.

WHY PRINT ON DEMAND?

The print on demand business model enables us to order stock only as needed.

Waste Reduction: By printing only what you need, on-demand printing affords a dramatic reduction in waste and is a conscious decision to avoid a surplus of unsold stock. We've been there before and it wasn't pretty!

Digital Printing Technology: Our production partners use low-waste digital printing technology and inks that conform to the GOTS/Soil Association organic criteria. Our printing technology allows for an almost unlimited range of colours and provides a quality feel. Our inks are vegetable based, contain no animal derived products and are not tested on animals.

  • Environmentally friendly inks - made without plastic, whoop!
  • Less water waste for the win!
  • On-demand production = NO landfill - we only produce what's already been bought.
  • Our printers are powered by water-based inks that are 100% vegan-friendly and toxin-free. So whether you're choosing an organic t-shirt or a cosy sweatshirt, you can have peace of mind that your choice is safe for the environment.

 

 PLASTIC FREE PACKAGING

Our production partner uses 100% plastic-free packaging. 

T-Shirts, Sweatshirts, Hoodies and Totes are placed in a weatherproof, kraft paper mailing bag and sent out to you with love. Mugs are safely tucked into bespoke smash-proof boxes.

When it comes to small orders of garments, your items will be sent out to you using a waterproof 100% paper, 100% recyclable and 100% compostable paper mailer. That's right, you can mix them in with your kitchen scraps and they'll be back to Mama Nature in just 12 months!

For larger orders, your items will be packed up in a sturdy cardboard box, ready to wing its way over to your doorstep. Again our production partners use plastic free packaging – made from 100% FSC-certified paper, entirely compostable and fully recyclable. 

 

MADE IN THE UK

All products are printed and packed at our production partner’s family-run UK-based fulfilment centre. Supporting the local and national economy is important to us and we try to source the items we offer as mindfully as possible.

 

MADE TO ORDER

To prevent waste we avoid a surplus of unsold stock and as such all our products are made to order - just for you! Due to being a small business we purposely and consciously chose a print on demand business model and for that reason it can take up to 7 working days for your item to be produced and shipped.

Our production partners state that all orders are subject to their 3-5 working day lead-time before being shipped. A little longer to wait perhaps, but we think its definitely worth it!

Please see the Shipping & Deliveries page for more information.
