Fabric Guide
We design our ranges with high-quality, sustainable and naturally-derived fibres wherever possible – we’re not perfect, but we’re committed to leaving the lightest footprint we possibly can, starting with the fabrics we use. We encourage you to invest in pieces that are made to last and to follow the care instructions of the individual garment as it’s the best and easiest way to look after the pieces in your wardrobe.
Organic cotton
Apart from being breathable and oh so soft, our cotton has had no modified seeds and no nasty chemicals used in the growing process – we like the sound of that.
Using no chemicals not only protects the environment and ecosystem, but protects humans too.
Organic cotton both uses less water than normal cotton and preserves soil quality.
Softer and stronger - your clothes will both feel better on you, and last longer. That's a win-win if you ask us.
Linen
Linen originates from the flax plant, which uses almost no energy or water consumption during cultivation.
Flax requires no fertilizer, herbicides or pesticides; meaning it doesn't pollute rivers or groundwater. Retaining 3.7 tons of CO2 per hectare per year.
Linen is naturally antibacterial and absorbs and wicks away moisture without holding bacteria.
The more Linen is worn and washed, the softer and more luxurious it gets.
