We LOVE illustrating pretty designs and producing top quality fabrics BUT not at the expense of our little planet and human health. We’ve worked hard to source manufacturers that offer both quality and sustainability hand in hand. We’re on a continuous journey to push boundaries, lower our carbon footprint and improve our environmental impact – watch this space!
Organic Fabrics
We are extremely proud to offer 100% organic cottons sold by the half metre!
With today’s sustainability challenges and the contribution of the fashion and textile industry adding to those challenges, we must collectively rethink production and consumption of textiles. Organic fibres play multifaceted roles in creating an industry that actively lowers its environmental impact and prioritises human health over short term profit.
To build a truly sustainable textile industry, we work with manufacturers who process and produce textiles on the basis of both environmental and social criteria. This means assessing everything from the chemical inputs being used to the ethical treatment of workers.
Environmental Criteria
Organic fibres are natural fibres grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, insecticides, or herbicides and GMOs (Genetic Modified Organisms) according to the principles of organic agriculture. Organic agriculture is a production process that sustains the health of ecosystems, soils and people. Key points below:
*Separation from conventional fibre products and identification of organic fibre products
*Processing units must demonstrate environment management, including wastewater treatment
*Technical quality parameters for colour fastness and shrinkage for finished goods required
*Restrictions on accessories
*Restrictions on additional fibre materials
*Environmentally hazardous substances prohibited in chemical inputs
*Evaluation of toxicity and biodegradability for chemical inputs
Social Criteria
The Standard requirements concerning working and social conditions that are equivalent to those of leading social sustainability standards. Based on the key norms of the International Labour Organisation (ILO), United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) and Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), must be met by all processors, manufacturers and traders. They must have a social compliance management system, with defined elements in place to ensure that the social criteria are met. Key points below:
*Employment is freely chosen
*Freedom of association and collective bargaining
*Child labour shall not be used
*No discrimination is practised
*Occupational health and safety (OHS)
*No harassment and violence
*Remuneration and assessment of living wage gap
*Working time
*No precarious employment is provided
*Migrant workers

LENZING™ ECOVERO™ Viscose Fibers
LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibers are made from wood, a natural and renewable raw material carefully sourced from responsibly managed forests. The wood taken from nature is purposefully balanced with forest growth rates, to ensure the continued availability of this valuable resource.
The responsible production of LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibers uses at least 50% less water and emits at least 50% less CO2 compared to generic viscose fibers, according to Higg MSI^, thereby saving precious resources for future generations.
^Results based on LCA standards (ISO 14040/44) and available via Higg MSI (Version 3.7)
LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibers can break down and compost at the end of their life cycle. Naturally lightweight, LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibers give woven and knitted fabrics a tactile softness and flowing drape.
