It's easy to be skeptical of vague claims these days. Greenwashing makes honest conversations about materials tough. But if you're like me, you still want to know what goes into the clothes you wear. Not just the design, but the fabric, the labor, the path it took to get to you. This transparency isn't just a marketing line for us; it’s the only way we operate.
The Craft Behind Our Organic Materials
We believe in building clothes meant to last, starting with the raw fiber. This means choosing materials that stand up to real life, without costing the earth more than it can give. Our commitment extends to every thread, ensuring each piece meets rigorous standards for both material integrity and ethical production.
Take our Oceans Bounty Organic Gamer Sweatshirt ($49.99). It exemplifies how we approach every design. It's made with 80% GOTS certified organic cotton and 20% GRS certified recycled polyester. This blend gives it strength and a soft feel, while meeting strict environmental and social criteria. We don't make it until you order it, reducing waste. Or consider our Golden Buffalo Organic Tee ($24.99). Crafted from 100% GOTS certified organic cotton, it represents our dedication to pure, ethically sourced materials for everyday wear. Both pieces are born from the same commitment: durable, conscious clothing, made by skilled hands in facilities that are Fair Wear Foundation members, ensuring ethical labor practices from start to finish.
We build clothes not just for how they look, but for what they stand for.
Why Certifications Matter
Certifications like GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) mean more than just 'organic cotton.' It's a comprehensive standard covering ecological and social aspects throughout the entire supply chain. From seed to finished garment, GOTS ensures fair labor practices and limits hazardous chemicals. Our supplier is a Fair Wear Foundation member, which means independent auditors regularly check working conditions and wages, honoring the people who craft your clothes every day.
The 20% recycled polyester also carries GRS (Global Recycled Standard) certification, verifying that the polyester fibers come from recycled sources and meet social and environmental criteria during processing. And yes, it's PETA-Approved Vegan. It’s about building a better garment, piece by piece.
This commitment to materials and ethics is woven into every product. We’re building a brand for the long haul, one ethical stitch at a time. Join our community and stay informed about our newest drops and our journey:
