We are continuously developing our sustainable practices. Staying educated and adapting with a focused approach will help us keep up with our rapidly changing world.

Certified G.O.T.S organic + conventionally grown pima cotton fibres are bought and collected from family owned farms outside of Lima, Peru. The fibres are transported to yarn spinning facilities in Lima run by our certified yarn suppliers including Romosa and Bergman Rivera. The quality yarns are then sent to local low impact dye houses or machine woven into fabric by our manufacturer. The un-dyed ‘greige’ fabrics are then sent to the associated dye houses and then sent back to our manufacturer to be cut and sewn.

Our fabrics are developed and produced in local machine rental facilities rented by our manufacturers and controlled and run by our in-house trained technicians.

Our garments are cut in-house by our manufacturer, along with all sample sewing. Garment construction is currently outsourced locally and then checked (quality control) and packed by our in-house technicians. 

Once finished and packed in 1/4 of the industry standard in recycled plastic packaging, our deliveries are shipped by air cargo to our warehouse in Halifax, Nova Scotia via Montreal or Toronto straight from Lima, Peru. Currently our deliveries weigh 400 - 800 kg and travel approximately 7000 km for a total of approximately 30,000 - 35,000 km of travel a year.

The current pandemic has created supply chain issues all around the globe. Despite our continued ability to access organic cotton and produce our clothing we are experiencing longer lead times, order increase requests and production and shipping delays which have all led to increased costs.

Despite these set backs, we know that now is not the time to step back from our sustainability goals but to move steadily forward and remain gentle in our approach.
