ALL OUR PRODUCTS ARE DESIGNED TO LAST LONGER AND GO THROUGH RIGOROUS TENSILE STRENGTH, COLOUR FASTNESS, WASH AND ABRASION RESISTANCE TESTING.

RECYCLABLE CAPSULE COLLECTION

Working with garment recyclers to understand the textile recycling process, our designers have developed three eco conscious products where every step of the manufacturing process has been carefully considered to ensure that waste reducing and eco-conscious practices are implemented to ensure the viability of end of life recycling.

2.

PRODUCTION PROCESS

New designs created to reduce waste during production including no side seams, meaning less off-cuts and reduced energy consumption

1. FABRIC SOURCE

3. ECO

100% Organic Cotton – fewer chemicals and reduced water consumption used during the cotton growth phase reducing impacts on the soil and local community

CONSCIOUS PACKAGING All packaging is recyclable or biodegradable comprising GRS certified recycled LDPE polybags, FSC certified swing tags and cotton string

EC300 492

EC210 496

EC195 499

4. END OF LIFE PROCESS No buttons and minimal trims and components have been included in the design of the garments to maximise the viability of the recycling process

MOST OF OUR CE CERTIFIED GARMENTS ARE TESTED TO 50 WASHES FOR A LONGER LIFE

WE USED 4 MILLION METRES OF RECYCLED POLYESTER IN 2022

OUR TEXPEL SPLASH ECO IS A C0 FINISH, MEANING NO HARMFUL CHEMICALS ARE USED
