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 manufacturer in person and inspected their facilities. We aim to do this with all of our suppliers over time.

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 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
