Our Suppliers
Our supply chain is one of the most important areas of our business. Our team has personal working relationships with our fabric and clothing suppliers. To date, we have visited one of our fabric suppliers, our dyer, and our stitch and sew manufacturers in person and inspected their facilities.
Our 100% organic poplin styles are made in Chennai, India. Our supplier is a WRAP-approved factory, demonstrating compliance with social compliance criteria. It also has a Sedex Certification, which validates ethical business practices to customers globally. It has a GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification. A number of its staff members have been part of the organisation for many years.
Our 100% organic cotton jersey fabric is knitted in Tamil Nadu, India. Our supplier is certified for OEKO-Tex Standard 100 (tested to be free from harmful chemicals), the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), and certified with Grade 'A' by the Worldwide Responsible Apparel Production (WRAP) (for standards of ethics and industry best practices).
Our 97% organic cotton twill / 3% elastane blend is woven in Tamil Nadu, India. Our supplier is certified for the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). Its facility is 100% solar-powered.
Our Fabrics
We prioritise natural and certified organic fabrics, including organic cotton. We currently use small quantities of elastane in some of our fabrics. We are researching other (more) sustainable fabric options (such as responsibly sourced linen, wool and Tencel) for future collections. We welcome feedback and advice on our fabric selections.
We use AZO free (non-toxic) dyes across our collection. We have researched natural dyes, but have decided not to use them in our collections for now, due to their impact on our customer experience, including fading and colour transfer. We are open to re-exploring this as technology develops.
Our Packaging
We use minimal packaging when sending orders to our customers. We wrap items in tissue paper, and send using a curbside recyclable paper mailer.
Our Focus Areas
As a small business, we haven't yet reached a scale where we have resources to develop full life cycle analyses of our social and environmental impact. However, these are some areas we've identified as important and are focusing on next:
- Using data to refine our production runs, minimising waste
- Sustainable fabric options
- Shipping packaging (from our suppliers and to our customers)
- Ongoing supplier sourcing and reviews
- Freight emissions
