Instead of more toxic pesticides and fertilisers, co planting and insect traps are used along with the special ingredient - cow poo. It encourages biodiversity and leads to the extra soft feel of our products. Less inputs also means less water, but even organic cotton is still a thirsty crop. So where you grow it matters. The fields that...

1990s Bart Simpson Ban Inspires Bart’s Homemade T-Shirts Ahh yes, the great Bart Simpson ban. Remember? It all started in 1990, at Lutz Elementary School in Fremont, Ohio. Principal William Krumnow delivered a ban on T-shirts featuring Bart Simpson, the rebellious breakout star of The Simpsons. Naturally, this Bart Ban made everybody want the T-shirt even more. Silly adults. Although the ban initially called out a T-shirt featuring Bart aiming a slingshot with the word underachiever emblazoned in quotes above him and Bart saying, “and proud of it, man!” - the Barton Simpson T-shirt ban spread like wildfire in schools. Everything from “Eat My Shorts” to “Get Bent” was out. They all “had a cow, man”. District administrators in Florida,...
The future, remade. Our new products are made from our old products, which are designed from the start to be sent back when they are worn out. This is circular fashion. Resource Every year 100 billion new items of clothing are produced while a truck full of clothing is burned, or buried in a landfill every second. Slowing fast fashion down is a good first step, but slowing it down won't stop it. Yet when we take the waste material at the end, and make new products from it at the start, it changes everything. That's what we've done. Our products and packaging are made from natural materials, not plastic. And every product we make is designed to be sent back...
From time to time we sponsor a Buy One, Get One Tree weekend. During this time we plant a tree for every T-shirt order placed. We count the orders throuhout the weekend and fund the tree planting. Of the 1 billion items of clothing made each year, almost 40% of all production is never utilised. This means a dump truck of textiles waste goes straight to landfill, every second. And when you think about it, climate change is because of stuff like this. CO2 pollution occurs as part of the process of making things. That's why we make things differently. Our products and packaging are made from natural materials, not plastic. Every product we make is designed to be sent back...
