Did you know? By repurposing materials that would otherwise end up in landfills, we reduce the demand for virgin resources and decrease the amount of waste produced. This helps to conserve energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and protect natural habitats!
Reducing our impact
Sock Collection
Helping Homeless Youth
Not only are our Crew Socks sustainably made from recycled cotton and nylon, our sock collection is also made in collaboration with American company Hippy Feet; where 50% of proceeds go toward helping homeless communities around the country.
Activewear Collection
Our clothing line is made with recycled materials, and we couldn't be prouder! We're all about bringing style & sustainability to athleisure wear; as we truly believe that every decision counts.
Fabrics and Colourants
Our fabrics consist of 77% nylon and 23% elastane. They provide 4 way stretch, excellent breathability and are GRS & OEKO-TEX Certified (globally certified as being eco-friendly, containing no harmful substances).
They are made primarily from post-consumer waste such as discarded plastic bottles and salvaged fishing nets. Isn't that amazing? Hard bottles and nets can be recycled to become soft, durable and luxurious fabrics that you'll love next to your skin!
A range of eco-friendly colourants are also used to dye our fabrics, ensuring maximum safety for our customers and a much lower impact on the environment.
Ethics
It is equally important to us that our manufacturer's employees enjoy high ethical standards in their working conditions and benefits.
We are assured that all employees receive free medical insurance for themselves and their families, a 13 month wage including vacation days, daily access to fresh food and water, and air-conditioned work spaces for maximum comfort.
Our Packaging
We use durable and eco-friendly packaging for all orders. We still have a long way to go to reach 100% recyclable, but we are committed to improving our processes along the way. These initial steps are just the beginning of our journey towards positive change.
What is a ghost net?
A ghost net is more than just an abandoned, lost, or discarded fishing net; it’s a silent predator that continues to ensnare and suffocate marine life long after being discarded. The devastating impact on marine life is profound, as these nets can trap and kill a wide range of species, from small fish to large mammals, thereby disrupting entire ecosystems. This harmful cycle can persist for thousands of years before Nylon nets degrade, inflicting immeasurable damage on our oceans. It’s alarming that fishing nets constitute a significant 10% of ocean waste, highlighting the magnitude of this environmental issue.
