Product Story

Make

Description

The A.01 was made by the good people at LCN in the inner west of Melbourne who pride themselves on quality and are accredited by Ethical Clothing Australia. They cut the fabric with minimal waste, construct, press and trim the A.01 for excess threads, finishing the piece with beautiful details. 

Supplier

Fabric

Description

100% fair trade certified, organic cotton. The fibre is grown, processed and spun in India, and is certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) at every stage from harvest to finishing to meet strict environmental, toxicity and social standards. The yarns are made optic white with GOTS approved low impact oxygen whiteners and are knitted into fabric at one of the last remaining knitting factories in Australia, located just outside of Melbourne.

Supplier

Thread

Description

100% GOTS certified cotton, sourced from co-operative organic markets in the Middle East. Each of these small-holder farmers process their cotton to strict environmental and social standards- as is required by GOTS certification.

Supplier

Label

Description

100% recycled PET made in-house by a manufacturer with a passion for developing sustainable alternatives for brands. This is the only part of the garment that isn’t biodegradable. There's good news! In 2019 we developed a way to make these labels in organic cotton which feature in garments from A.31 onwards.

Supplier

Care Label

Description

100% organic cotton, printed with Oeko Tex 100 certified inks. The yarns are sourced in India from GOTS certified mills and are woven at our supplier-owned mill into tape. They are then whitened according to GOTS standards using oxygen based whiteners and digitally printed.

Supplier

Trim

Description

100% certified organic cotton tape. GOTS certified cotton is grown on various organic cotton farms in Turkey which are spun into yarns. These yarns are purchased by Taishobeski who sells the yarns to our supplier. The yarns are then woven into beautiful, fine tapes in Japan by our manufacturer and dyed/whitened locally according to GOTS standards.

Packaging

Compost

Our default packaging for local orders, home-compostable satchels have the lowest environmental impact when composted locally. Please don't throw this into your general waste bin, instead, after re-use, compost at home or find other solutions here. You can contact us immediately after placing your order to request recyclable packing instead.

Recycled

For extra fragile goods, or international orders, we use 100% post-consumer waste recycled and RECYCLABLE satchels, boxes and tissue paper. After re-use, these can go into your curb-side paper recycling bin. 

Care

Laundering

Organic fibres need just a little more TLC than conventional ones. Machine wash on COLD, use a delicates bag for best results and hang to dry. We'll also send a detailed digital care guide when you buy this garment.

Repairs

We stand by our garments + offer complimentary repairs for all A.BCH pieces. Our free repairs are for general wear and tear (you'll just have to cover delivery or drop off to our Melbourne studio, the cleaner the better)! Re-making or alterations can also be requested + will be individually quoted based on the time required.

End of Life

Recycling

To recycle this tee, send it back to us for store credit. We'll even cover shipping! Depending on its condition, we'll repair & re-sell it (as second hand) OR transform it into brand new yarns through our recycling program (so circular, darling).

Compost

If returning is unlikely (you're busy with a climate rally or living off the grid), this tee is 99.5% compostable. After a long life of use, repair and re-use, simply remove the A.BCH tag before cutting the rest of the tee into strips, safe for anaerobic composting at home or commercially.
