Our Commitment to Plastic-Free Packaging

What we're doing:

We're so excited to share, that we recently upped our game with our eco-packaging mission and added compostable poly-bags to our plastic-free packaging line-up! We know we need to protect the garments, but we also need to protect the planet. Both for storage as well as shipping, we need to be sure that our garments reach our customers without any unnecessary damage. Because we're trying to keep all packaging plastic-free, until now we've been individually wrapping each garment in tissue paper and using our compostable poly mailers to ship orders to our customers. As you can imagine, the process was a little slow. We've now added compostable-poly garment bags to our packaging products, so that each piece is safely wrapped for storage and shipping. But don't worry, you'll still see our beautiful tissue paper from time to time as well. 

Why it's important to us:

We all know that the fashion industry is a major contributor to what we now know is climate change. And while we don't push a huge "green-washing" message, creating a company that is environmentally friendly, from its core, has always been very important to us. We can't single-handedly solve all pollution problems, but we can make these little steps to improve our carbon footprint, and keep it as low as possible from the beginning. We want to be part of the solution, not part of the problem. It takes all of us doing our part.

Some other ways we're helping:

• Selecting products, fabrics and finishes made largely from natural fibers or recycled materials whenever possible.
• Creating specialty products, from small batch and limited quantities, so that we are not sitting on excess inventory and items that never sell, only to be disposed of later. 
• As a small company, with small inventory, we naturally have a small energy footprint. We are not using large warehousing space, and most operations are at a single location, right in the San Francisco, California.
