Zero Waste Design: Zero waste starts with design. Our zero waste designs work by creating patterns that fit into one piece of fabric, incorporating all the parts of the fabric into the finished piece—be it binding or a decorative element. This extends to garment construction, using techniques like French seams not only for their quality finish, but also to reduce the extra threads needed for an overlocked seam. Print-to-order fabric reduces fabric waste for both us and our supplier.

Natural Materials: Made from organic cotton, a natural fibre that is biodegradable. While not yet certified compostable, we're following research into fabric composting standards.

Made in Australia: Garment handcrafted in our Melbourne studio

Ethical Production: Ethical Clothing Australia accredited

Circularity: When you're finished with this piece, pass it on to a loved one, take it to a clothes swap, or donate for resale. As a mono-fibre fabric, it can be mechanically recycled at end-of-life once buttons and labels are removed.
