Q: Â What is âethical fashionâ and where are your garments manufactured?
A: Â Ethical fashion manufacturing means we aim to reduce the negative impact on the planet and all of its inhabitants. Producing an item of ethical clothing involves everything from design, labour, materials, transport, shipping etc. Ethical fashion is kind to the planet and people every step of the way, from seed to garment.
We ensure that our workers are valued and working in a good healthy environment, we prioritise safety, and fair compensation of the workforce.
All of our garments are made in Sydney where I oversee all of the processes and ensure quality and sustainability practices are adhered to.
Q: Â How can your garments be supportive without underwire?
A: Â Itâs all about our premium organic cotton fabric and soft brushed strip off elastane that provides support without the clips, clasps, poking and pinching. You also get support and discretion from the double layer of fabric that is in the top section of each garment.
AND, the adjustable straps in the cami styles allow for extra âliftâ should you wish, our T-shirt and T-shirt dress offer support across the shoulders for our more voluptuous ladies so you donât get any nasty digging in from narrow straps or shoulder and neck pain.
Q:Â Cotton manufacturing requires a lot of water - is it really sustainable??
A: Organic cotton uses 91 per cent less water than regular cotton and it produces fewer greenhouse gas emissionsâŚ. In a nutshell, there are fewer emissions, big reduction of toxic herbicides and pesticides, less waste and water usage, smaller impact and we are all about supporting local economy and reducing carbon emissions, it travels a shorter distance so has a smaller carbon footprint.
Organic cotton is not only softer on your skin, but it has huge positive environmental impacts too.
Without the use of pesticides, beneficial insects remain in the ecosystem, biodiversity is conserved, soil has higher organic matter content which prevents soil erosion, and any water run-off is safe from chemicals which protects surrounding plants, waterways and therefore anyone who uses that water. It is also safer for the farmers, who are not breathing in or digesting harmful pesticides and herbicides.
Organic cotton provides high quality products that are soft and breathable - much kinder to the skin.
Organic cotton is a more positive and sustainable alternative. It is made from non-genetically modified plants that are grown without the use of any synthetic agricultural chemicals such as fertilisers or pesticides. This makes it better for the environment, the climate and the health of the people involved.
