2022

Over 80% of our styles are made with 100% recycled main body fabric.**

We helped the equivalent of 76 million plastic bottles* avoid landfill by using 100% recycled 600D main body fabric for 70% of our styles** and recycled materials for all of our 200D lining.

By switching our lining to 100% recycled polyester and leaving it undyed, we reduced our water consumption by 1 million gallons.***

2023

We eliminated around 200kg of single use poly delivery bags swapping them out of a natural fibre alternative.

This new delivery bag is 'Kerb side recyclable' and is made from paper so breaks down in the environment with little risk to the natural environment.
