footprint

Kit and Heather are well aware of the global cost the garment industry has on our environment. We are trying to implement "cradle to cradle" standards in our design and creative process. While this is quite a large mountain to tackle, we have started with:

1. Keeping it local.
We try to keep everything within a 500 mile radius. All our clothing is made locally by us. Our first choice is to always partner and use local businesses.

2. Fabric and sourcing.
New Fabrics: We look for quality and pure fibers thus 100% natural fiber can return to the earth after its use and 100% manmade can be recycled to have a second life. Locally grown organic is ideal but not always accessible, so we still prefer conventional locally grown than organic grown on a mass scale overseas.

3. Rescue and Recycled.
We pride ourselves in recycling fabrics and rescuing industry remnant treasures from becoming landfill. We enjoy re-making used sweaters and garments to give them a new life. All of our packaging is made out of recycle paper.

4. Minimizing waste.
We try to eliminate as much waste as possible. Scraps used for accessories, buttons, facings before anything is thrown away: we try our hardest to find it a home of use and purpose.

5. Travel.
We travel to search out local artisan and cultural fabrics. This does not help the environment but it does help support local artisans and encourage cultural values on a global scale. We always look to support local far trade, not mass market practices.
