We've spent many an hour researching and looking at materials for our garments, selecting the best performing products for direct to garment graphic print reproduction, soft touch comfort and ones that can achieve a sustainable and environmentally friendly ethic - See our Sustainability, Ethics section below.
So with that in mind we made the decision to use manufacturers of our garments that hold the GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard). We favour organic materials that care for your skin and the environment. Our suppliers entire production chain benefits from the strictest environmental certifications and labels in the market.
We want our garments to feel good and we think they do with a really soft, rich touch feel. We also want to follow the strictest certification for textiles made from organic fibres and a tracked chain of production from farm to factory: from harvesting of the cotton, weaving of fibres, assembly of items, to the final product, including even the export of our clothing.
