In its purest form, organic cotton is higher quality, safer for farmers and ultimately one of the best sustainable threads made. Not to mention its favorable natural color. This natural plant-based textile is grown, processed, combed and sewn into your wardrobe’s favorites. Organic cotton uses 90% less water and greenhouse gases which lessen our environmental footprints. It requires 62% less artificial energy as it relies on nature's own energy to thrive. Overall, organic cotton is not only better for the Earth but better for you and others.
One of the world's biggest problems is single use plastics, like bottles. We take those plastics and turn them into classic durable American made pieces. The foundation of recycled bottles, with a variety of blends like organic cotton, lay the groundwork for our sustainable fabric that is both chic and comfortable. The process of turning plastic bottles into ethically produced apparel is called recycled polyethylene terephthalate, or rPET. An estimated 60 million plastic bottles are thrown out every day, our line saves at least 2 million and we only aim to get better.
Low impct dyes are dyes with a higher than average absorption rate. Less water is required in the rinse process and less dye runs off in the water. Therefore, the dyes create less waste while keeping their vibrant color.
