Small-Scale Production
Our mindful approach to production includes manufacturing at a smaller scale and slower pace to reduce waste.
Our clothes are made in smaller batches to ensure there will be no production leftovers that will end up in landfills.
Our materials are sourced in Bali, and the whole manufacturing process is done in Bali as well. This approach reduces our logistic carbon footprint and emissions.
Handmade to Last
We believe that it is our responsibility not only to our consumers but also to the planet to provide high quality pieces. Higher quality means improved longevity, and the longer you get to use, wear, and enjoy our products, the better it is for our planet.
We’ve partnered with a small garment factory in Bali, Indonesia that employs a team of Balinese artisans and tailors. Their skills at hand making, hand-cutting, and hand-dyeing clothes are perfected through years and years of experience, resulting in products that are made to last.
The Smaller Details & Packaging
Our sustainability efforts extend to smaller details and the way we package our products.
We use natural shell buttons in lieu of plastic ones. Not only are they more beautiful and more durable, they’re also a greener choice because they are made from natural materials.
Our packaging consists mainly of natural materials. We use biodegradable I’m Not Plastic Bag bags made from cassava starch.
For an added value, the clothes come in a reusable drawstring pouch that’s made of 100% cotton fabric.
