like organic cotton, recycled polyester, and

low-impact dyes and processes that provide greater economic

and environmental equality for workers, communities

and ultimately you, the consumer.

Great products are delivered with real certifications

It’s not enough to say a product contains sustainable fibers and materials, we feel consumers want and are owed proof. 3rd party finished product certifications such as GRS and OCS ensure our finished products contain the sustainable fibers we started with.

Going beyond fiber content each production facility is certified to standards for process and chemistry as well as fair, ethical, and sustainable business practices, so you can feel good about the clothes you wear.
