Supply Chain:
Transparency is key to our sustainability ethos. Our supply chain begins with a knitting mill located within 20 miles of our factory. This mill uses imported yarn from China to produce the fabrics for our garments. Our primary fabric is a blend of natural hemp and recycled poly, reflecting our commitment to eco-friendly materials.
​
While we continue to uncover the details of every step in our supply chain, we're dedicated to ensuring that our operations align with our values. By prioritizing transparency and environmentally friendly practices, we aim to instill confidence in our customers and contribute positively to the planet.

Dyeing Process and Yarn Composition
Our manufacturing partner in Pakistan employs a reactive dyeing process for our hemp garments. This process utilizes Sodium carbonate, bicarbonate, caustic soda, and salt to ensure vibrant colors that do not fade during washing. The composition of the yarn used in our garments consists of 55% hemp and 45% recycled polyester, with a yarn count of NE 24/1. Notably, the recycled polyester is derived from recycled plastic bottles, further contributing to environmental sustainability.
