One tree at the time
reverse the climate change
We do more than just use sustainable materials to make our products. We work with Ecologi to plant at least 20,000 trees every year, through direct funding and by planting a tree for every single product we sell online. It means you help us too, with every product we sell!
Visit our page to see a live update on our planting projects and sustainability programmes with our partners Ecologi.
Only positive vibes
Some of the recent good causes we’ve funded
Sustainability and supporting good causes is hugely important to us. We’re proud of the work we do with Ecologi and our tree planting and C02 reduction projects. But it doesn’t stop there. Each year we do our bit to support causes in areas that need it, both locally and internationally. Since 2017, we’ve supported schools in India and Bangladesh by providing laptops, classroom equipment and since 2017 we’ve even paid the annual salary for a teacher too. We’ve also and funded the building of a smart classroom in India and a capacity building project in China in 2019 – providing interns with pattern making equipment for our suppliers.

Since our beginning In 2020 We’ve endeavored to ensure our range is made as sustainably as possible, using sustainably sourced cotton and polyester made from recycled plastic bottles
Sustainably sourced cottons...
We are a proud member of Better Cotton and we also source organic cotton.
Better Cotton is sourced via a chain of custody model called mass balance. This means that Better Cotton is not physically traceable to end products, however, Better Cotton Farmers benefit from the demand for Better Cotton in equivalent volumes to those we ‘source’.
Organic cotton is good for the environment because it is grown naturally without chemicals and pesticides. So as well as product benefits such as being kinder to the skin, it's better for soil and uses less water.
We are committed to sourcing 100% of our cotton as ‘more sustainable cotton’ by 2025. ‘More sustainable cotton’ includes Better Cotton, organic cotton and Fairtrade cotton
we are certified
the organic cotton standard
Our organic cotton is certified The Organic Content Standard 100 (OCS 100) and Organic Content Standard blended (OCS blended) applies to any product containing 5-100% organic material. It verifies the presence and amount of organic material in a final product and tracks the flow of a raw material from its source to the final product. This process is then certified by an accredited third party.
Reduce the impact
Recycled Polyester
All our fleece robes & onesies are made using recycled polyester. This reduces dependence on petroleum as the raw material in our fabrics.
It also reduces landfill and soil contamination, while using less energy than virgin polyester! Did you know it takes around 22 recycled plastic bottles to make one of our robes and to make one of our onesies 31 plastic bottles are recycled too!
