Product Story

Make

Description

The Cube Shirt was made entirely in-house at the A.BCH studio. We designed the garment from organic denim offcuts, cutting the fabric with precision. The shirt was then constructed in-house by our tailors before being trimmed and pressed. This garment is one of a kind.

Supplier

Fabric

Description

100% certified organic raw cotton denim. The fibre is grown, spun and yarn dyed in Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra in India, where it’s certified by the Global Organic textile Standard (GOTS) to meet strict environmental, toxicity and social standards. The yarns are then delivered to GOTS certified mills in Gujarat. We buy the finished fabric from an Indian textile wholesaler based in Ahmedabad, which sources directly from the mills.

Supplier

Closures

Description

The Cube Shirt utilises heavy duty snaps for closures. These snaps are sourced from a local studder who has a bunch of surplus metal closures on site. Although we do not know the original source of the studs, and therefore its material is unverified, we are keeping the studs from entering landfill by choosing to use them instead of buying our own new branded hardware. We will take full responsibility for the garment at the end of its life and encourage its return to us many years down the line so we can salvage the metal for recycling.

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 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. Our goal is to someday soon make our own biodegradable woven labels, but until that glorious day, please remove this tag before composting!

Supplier

Care Label

Description

100% 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/satchel, tissue paper, labels and stickers- all made in Australia. Re-use your box or recycle it without removing a thing. Or test out our our home-compostable packaging, which you can choose at the checkout.

End of Life

Recycling

To recycle this shirt, 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 shirt is 99.5% compostable. After a long life of use, repair and re-use, simply remove the A.BCH tag and cut the rest into strips, safe for anaerobic composting at home or commercially.
