A.BCH A.13
Product Story

Knit

Description

The A.13 was knitted using the latest technology in Whole Garment knitting. The Japanese Shima Seiki machine is considered the best in the world and is the only with such fine knit capabilities in Australia. The design was programmed and the knitting was supervised by our knitting specialist, Patricia Chircop who is based in Mount Macedon, Victoria. Her company is certified as an approved supplier for A.BCH by Ethical Clothing Australia. Because of this innovative Whole Garment knitting technology, the A.13 garment is knitted together in 3D, eliminating pattern paper and fabric cutting waste.

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, all we ask is that you cover the cost of delivery or drop off to our Melbourne studio. Re-making or alterations can also be requested + will be individually quoted based on the time required.

End of Life

Recirculate

Help extend the life of the A.13 by sending or dropping it back to us for store credit – we'll even cover the shipping. Depending on its condition, we'll repair & re-sell it (as second hand), remake it into something or if it's no longer useful, we'll transform it into brand new yarns through our Recycling Program (so circular, darling).

 

Recycle

The A.13 was specifically designed for easy mechanical or cellulose chemical recycling. Send or drop it back to us for store credit, we'll even cover the shipping. Once received and assessed, the garment is washed and prepared for mechanical recycling. The yarns we create from this process will become feedstock for future A.BCH styles.

 

Compost

If returning is unlikely (you're busy with a climate rally or living off the grid) you can compost the A.13. After a long life of use, repair and re-use, simply cut off the A.BCH A.13 tag (this is the only part of the garment that isn't compostable) before cutting the rest of the garment into smaller pieces and placing in your home composting system or garden soil.
