L O W - W A S T E We save every scrap of fabric from our factory to share with our community partners: our scraps are composted into rich soil with Rustbelt Riders, pulped into artisan paper with The Morgan Conservatory and reworked into new pieces by local designers. Our zero-waste goal adds value to our community without adding volume to its landfills.

C I R C U L A R Clothing production generally follows a linear model: companies take resources from the earth, make products cheaply to maximize profit, sell what they can, throw away the rest, and start again. Consumers, in turn, throw these purchases away within 18 months, on average. This model adds 100 million tons of mostly synthetic textile waste to landfills each year, seeping toxic chemicals into our soil and waterways.

With our organic cotton collection, we’re creating a more circular model to keep every piece in use longer and out of the landfill forever. We use only low-impact, renewable materials, down to our labels and thread. Our DIY mending, dyeing and hemming tutorials can help maximize the lifespan of your clothing. And when the time comes, use our composting tutorial to return your toxin-free pieces safely to the soil. We designed waste out from the start.

C O M P O S T A B L E Even most 100% cotton clothing is saturated with pesticides, bleach, chemical dyes, and wrinkle and moisture repellants, which toxify landfills. Instead of decomposing within months, these garments linger in landfills for years because of plastic buttons and industry-standard polyester thread, too. We soil test our toxin-free fabric and 100% cotton thread to be sure our organic collection can be fully composted within months.
