Description

A crowd favourite, the A.10 compliments many shapes and sizes. Constructed from organic medium-weight linen, these palazzo style trousers with their elastic waist are basically the perfect brunch pant. Featuring a long, detached belt allowing for a variety of styling options, which can be selected as our default flat linen or in our new doubled organic cotton cord. Pull 'em up high and cinch the belts below for a paper bag look, or wrap the belts around for a more tailored style. Leave them loose or freestyle without. The pockets on these guys are almost as deep as our love for them.

Please email us immediately after placing your order if you'd like to switch to the cord belt option.

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 and dyed with GOTS certified low-impact dyes. 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 run 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

Linen Tape

Description

100% biodegradable linen tape, made in-house by our manufacturer in Japan who sources GOTS organic fibres and other sustainable raw materials from a company called Taishobeski. We source smaller quantities from a Japanese wholesaler, who give us visibility into the supply chain.

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

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% 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.

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

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.

End of Life

Recycling

To recycle this garment, 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), the A.10s are 99.5% compostable (elastic and all). After a long life of use, repair and re-use, simply remove the A.BCH tag before cutting the trousers into strips, safe for anaerobic composting at home or commercially.
