SUSTAINABILITY
IT’S COOL TO BE KIND
People and the planet matter.
That’s why 90% of our street/sportswear is made from recycled ocean plastic and we only work with factories that are operating in an ethical fashion.
THE FABRIC
We source our fabrics from Carvico and Jersey Lomellina, who are committed to cleaning up our oceans and turning waste into high-quality materials for sustainable fashion. Their OEKO-TEX and GRS-certified eco-friendly fabrics are made from 100% regenerated nylon yarn.
Plus, once washed, it dries almost instantly, saving time and energy for a win-win.
THE THREAD
Our innovative streetwear is made with ECONYL® yarn, derived from abandoned fishing nets, carpet fluff, and other discarded materials that can pose a threat to marine life. Instead of sitting in a landfill or at the bottom of the sea, we’re turning them into unique designs that fit perfectly, enhance performance, and minimize global impact.
THE MAKERS
We support businesses who share our value of empowering individuals. We’ve partnered with amazing manufacturers that employ talented seamstresses and practice corporate social responsibility. All 100+ of their full-time employees enjoy free medical insurance for their whole family and fair, living wages, including a double wage as their yearly bonus.
THE PACKAGING
We seek to eliminate waste at every step in the supply chain. Along with our recycled fabrics, we use 100% biodegradable packaging so you can not only look good, but feel good.
