Sustainability Information

Sustainability is important to us. We’re getting better every step of the way, while providing you with the best product quality available.

It’s no secret that the apparel industry has a sustainability problem. We all know about the big apparel conglomerates that stockpile thousands of new items every week, adding to the growing problem of overproduction. To paint the picture, a shocking 21% of produced textiles are estimated to remain unsold. A horrifying fact is that the end-of-life journey for leftover stock is most often unknown.

As we work with our on-demand suppliers, we only produce items when we receive an order, avoiding textile waste from overproduction. Our printing partners use the highest-quality printing tech available, creating almost no wastewater and they use less energy than standard industry printers.

Production Information

Each product in our catalog is made on-demand. Once you place an order, we produce it specifically for you. How amazing is that!?! This allows us to avoid overproduction and textile waste, and we’re continuously working toward more sustainable production. Forget about mass-produced clothing, and let us create your one-of-a-kind, quality piece!

Printing techniques, materials and fabric

Our clothing designs are fulfilled using many different state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques. Many of our products are printed using the direct-to-garment (DTG) technique, where ink is first sprayed directly onto the garment and then absorbed into the fabric. It’s like printing on paper but on clothing. We use Kornit printers that generate almost zero wastewater and use less energy than standard industry printers, which lowers our carbon footprint.

The inks we use for printing are Oeko-Tex™ certified, vegan, water-based, and free of harmful chemicals. We take our sustainability seriously. That’s why we take care to properly dispose of any leftover ink according to the ink supplier guidelines.

Lighter than traditional screen printing, our printed fabrics are extremely breathable, even with full print coverage. Remember how a heavy screen print can hold in the heat and make you sweat? Not with us...and our printing stands up to a long life of washing without fading.

Embroidery

We embroider our products with 100% recycled polyester threads. These threads are also Oeko-Tex™ certified, meaning they’re safe for both adult and children’s clothing. Compared to printing, embroidery is generally more durable and produces less waste, as there’s no ink residue.

Eco-friendly materials

There are many reasons why a product or material could be considered sustainable. Our eco-friendly product collection consists of items made of at least 70% organic or recycled materials or a mix of these materials. All beauty products in this collection are natural certified.

To verify material content, we collect valid certificates from our suppliers. As proof of the organic composition of the apparel products, we only accept GOTS or OCS certificates. For recycled composition, we accept either GRS or RCS certificates.

We only accept the Ecocert COSMOS certificate as proof of the beauty product’s natural origin.

Production

Each product in our catalog is made-on-demand, which means once you place the order, we start working to get it to you. It takes time for us to create and send out the product, but making each order on-demand allows us to avoid overproduction. This way we get to take care of you and the planet we all share. In the future, we believe that most apparel will be made this way.

Once you order any product you will receive an accurate estimation of the times it takes to deliver to you. With fulfillment centers across the United States, Europe and Asia, you are assured of timely delivery.

Packaging

All apparel products are packed in post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic mailers. The amount of PCR in the packaging will differ depending on where your order gets printed, but it’s a minimum of 70% for both the outside (white or grey) poly mailer bags and the inside (clear) bags used in multi-item shipments.

PCR packaging is made from everyday items like used plastic bags and bottles. This material protects your items just as well as regular plastic bags. However, choosing PCR over first-use plastics reduces the environmental impact plastic has on our planet.
