Innovation
Naturally regenerative
The fibre comes from pods of the the kapok tree that thrives without human intervention. The more kapok trees are planted, the better it is for our planet. Kapok is 100% recyclable, 100% biodegradable and is grown without irrigation, pesticides or fertilisers.
Organic Cotton
Organic cotton is farmed without the addition of fertilisers and pesticides and avoids the use of genetically modified seeds and artificial irrigation, resulting in a lower footprint than intensively farmed cotton.
Organic farms are usually smallholdings and therefore it is hard, if not impossible, for a brand to trace back to the individual farms used, so we rely on certifications such as GOTS to guarantee the provenance. These certifications guarantee the farming practices used, and additionally provide assurances around responsible use of chemicals further up the supply chain such as in dyeing and finishing, where most of the impacts in fabric production are concentrated.
While we believe organic farming to be a responsible and low impact method, our goal is to move past this to regeneratively farmed products wherever possible.

Our supply chain tiers
Tier 1
Garment Manufacturing
Tier 1
Garment Manufacturing
--
This is the production step that involves final assembly of the garment before it is delivered to our warehouse. This is where most of the social impacts are felt as it is labour intensive and we have 100% visibility of all the factories working at this stage.
Tier 2
Fabric Manufacturing
Tier 2
Fabric Manufacturing
--
This is the fabric production stage including the construction and dyeing of the fabrics and trims. This is usually where most of the carbon intensity is found as large amounts of energy are required for the production of fabrics. We currently have 88% visibility of the suppliers involved at this stage for our main fabrics.
Tier 3
Yarn Spinning
Tier 3
Yarn Spinning
--
This is where the fibres are spun into yarns, prior to being manufactured into fabrics. This stage is energy intensive and is often done in a unit separate to the tier 2 production. We currently have 47% visibility of the suppliers involved at this stage for our main fabrics.
Tier 4
Fibre Production
Tier 4
Fibre Production
--
Depending on the fibre type, this is where fibres are grown, farmed, or manufactured. It is often very difficult to trace the supply chain to this tier however we currently have 25% visibility of the suppliers involved at this stage for our main fabrics.
