100% kinder sourced cotton; either organic or recycled. Our mill uses proprietary techniques to eliminate waste water from dyeing and finishing processes, saving 4800 liters of water per meter.

RECYCLED COTTON
Recycled cotton is our hero fiber. Sourced from pre- or post-consumer cotton waste that would otherwise end up in landfills, it stands out as the most sustainable cotton option according to the Sustainable Apparel Coalition's HIGGS Index. By incorporating recycled cotton into our denim instead of virgin cotton, we achieve remarkable resource savings—98% less energy and 100% less water compared to conventional cotton farming.

ORGANIC COTTON
Organic cotton is grown using methods that minimize environmental impact, avoiding harmful chemicals and benefiting soil health. Its production requires less energy, emits fewer greenhouse gases, and significantly reduces water usage due to improved soil quality. The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification ensures not only sustainable farming practices but also fair wages and compensation for workers. Choosing GOTS-certified organic cotton guarantees that the people behind your fabrics are treated fairly and paid a living wage.

HEMP
Hemp is a remarkable fiber celebrated for its environmental benefits. It uses up to a quarter of the water required by conventional cotton and occupies less land. Hemp enriches soil, is highly durable, and minimizes waste as the entire plant can be utilized. With a short growing season and deep roots, it improves soil structure. We source our hemp from France, ensuring sustainability through OCACIA certification, which guarantees no pesticides, GMOs, or irrigation are used.

ECO MADE ELASTANE AND ROICA
We will never use conventional elastane in our products. Instead, we choose eco-made elastane and Roica—premium degradable stretch yarns that are gentler on the environment and made with fewer harmful chemicals. We are committed to continuously seeking innovative, low-impact yarns and being early adopters of sustainable options as they arise.

We use Jeanologia's Environmental Impact Measuring tool to monitor the impact of all the garments we manufacture, making sure 100% of the collection scores LOW on the scale, creating a low impact washing process.

LASER MACHINES
We use laser machines for our vintage look fades and rips. Laser machines help us ensure worker's safety, eliminate water waste and are energy efficient.

OZONE MACHINES
We say no to hazardous hypo-chloride bleach, using ozone machines instead for vintage fades.

AERIAL DRYING
Our denim is dried on aerial drying systems to reduce the consumption of energy. 80% of the garment is dried on the conveyor, significantly reducing the time and energy required to dry the garment in an industrial dryer.

Our entire collection is consciously designed to reduce our impact on the planet and all of our components are carefully researched and selected to help us create the most sustainable products possible.

FSC CERTIFIED SWING TICKETS
FSC certification assures us that wood used in the making of paper is coming from forests that are responsibly managed, socially beneficial, environmentally conscious, and economically viable.

OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100
Our jacron paper back patches are biodegradable, vegan and are verified by OEKO-TEX to ensure they have been tested for harmful substances beyond national and international requirements.

YKK ECO FINISHED HARDWARE AND RECYCLED POLYESTER ZIPPERS
Our metal trims are made by YKK using their environment-friendly finish, which does not involve an electrical plating process, reducing the amount of water and electricity used and eliminating the use of hazardous substances. Every 1000 kg of hardware saves the average electricity consumption for one family over 20 days. Our zippers are also supplied by YKK and use recycled polyester instead of virgin polyester, helping reduce plastic from landfills.

WOVEN LABELS, POCKETING AND WASHCARE LABELS
We use certified organic cotton or recycled polyester for our labels. Our pocketing has recycled content and our wash-care labels are made from recycled polyester, helping us reduce waste.

PACKAGING
We are committed to having no single use virgin plastic in our processes. We source biodegradable packaging from material that conforms to British Standard 8472, American ASTM D6954, United Arab Emirates Standard 5009, 2009 French Accord T51-808, Saudi Standard SASO 2879, and Mexican Standard NMXE-E-288-NYCE. The listed assesses oxo-biodegradation and phytotoxicity. Part of our commitment is to continuously look at the best option for shipping that guarantees long life whilst having the least environmental impact.

Our consciously kind denim is available through our stockists in numerous countries, and we also ship worldwide for our customers. As part of our commitment to circularity, our US warehouse uses 100% recyclable poly mailers printed with eco-friendly ink. These mailers include two self-adhesive strips for easy reuse by our customers.
