SUSTAINABILITY AND MANUFACTURING

​

1.  What makes your products sustainable?
The foundation for our clothing is built on a minimalist design technique that entails:

  • Optimised pattern cuts that flow naturally with the body but also reduce fabric wastage. 

  • Monotone/Natural colours – minimizing on dyes used

  • Fit-for-purpose fabrics -  We make use of organic and regenerated fabrics depending on the target product.   We aim to minimise multi-modal fabrics

    • Organic fabrics are based on using Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified fabrics

    • For our leotard and activewear, which require higher tensile strength and elasticity for muscle control, moisture-wicking, we make use of regenerated and recycled fabrics that are made from waste as opposed to virgin nylon

  • Quality and longevity of the product is also key to ensure that it need not have to be washed as often and when it is washed, It does not age or lose its structure.   

  • Designed to be multipurpose -  We believe less is more and once should not be investing in clothes for each activity (especially when you look at athletic and leisurewear.  The clothing we produce allows you to perform yoga/gym or dance class, wear the same piece to jump into the pool or even use it for casual or evening wear

  • We produce limited quantities and ranges, creating timeless designs which are not specific to a specific fashion trend.   

​

2.  Where do you manufacture your clothes?

We aim to produce our products close to the textile or fibre source and from certified factories that ensure fair wages and working conditions. Based on the criteria, we have select products coming from Indonesia, China and Mongolia at this point.  We continuously review our supply chain to optimise
