Supplier

Fabric

Description

100% GOTS certified organic linen, grown in France by a group of farmers who have dedicated the last 10 years to perfecting the art of organic linen farming. Scutching is performed locally, fibres are then sent to Hungary to be spun into yarn. Finally, they are sent to Belgium, where they’re woven in a C02 neutral mill. The gorgeous colour of these shorts is 100% natural as no bleaches or dyes have been used. Our Belgian supplier has been creating linen since 1864 and are recognised by The Masters of Linen.

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

Pocket Lining

Description

100% GOTS Organic Cotton poplin. The organic cotton is grown, processed, spun and woven in Turkey. We import the fabric from a supplier based in the Netherlands who can sell it in smaller quantities to us.

Supplier

Elastic

Description

Our elastic is pretty amazing. It's been created from biodegradable polymers by a German innovator and manufacturer. The technology was developed to replace traditionally synthetic building blocks (like elastic and labels) and is certified by C2C, plus it's been recognised for its innovation in sustainability and circular design.

Supplier

Buttons

Description

100% corozo fruit seed, sourced sustainably from Panama City, Panama. Once the fruit has fallen from the tree, the seeds are collected and processed for button making. The buttons are designed, manufactured and dyed in-house by our supplier, using only non-toxic, biodegradable dyestuffs. 

Supplier

Label

Description

100% recycled polyester 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. Things get better! In 2019 we developed an organic cotton alternative, a first of its kind on the market. From A.31 onwards, all garments will be 100% cellulosic (meaning completely synthetic-free!)!

Supplier

Care Label

Description

100% biodegradable cotton. Although it’s a lot better for the environment than the industry standard virgin polyester, it’s not organic, so it’s just a temporary solution for us. We’re working towards having our own organic cotton care labels too.

Supplier

Packaging

Description

100% post-consumer waste recycled and recyclable box, tissue paper, labels and stickers- all made in Australia. Re-use your box or recycle it without removing a thing. Or try our home-composting packaging by selecting it at checkout.
