HIGG INDEX
WE ARE WORKING TO REDUCE THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF OUR PRODUCTS FROM THE BEGINNING OF THEIR LIFE CYCLE, RESEARCHING NEW RAW MATERIALS AND PRODUCTION PROCESSES, AND GUARANTEEING THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF ALL OUR GARMENTS.
2017 - removed all branding excess from my garments. removed care labels, brand labels, and hangtags. source local fabrics and domestic manufacturers to reduce carbon emissions in transportation. developed a luxuriously soft textile made from post-manufactured nylon fibres. designed timeless pieces that are all fully reversible and meant to be worn more than one way (my strapless bikini top can be worn 4 different ways, while my triangle top may be worn 6 ways)
2018 - developed a hang tag using scrap materials.
2019 - manufacture fabric and cut and sew all within 10 miles of each other
2020 - print locally, continue reversible designs, continue recycled PET fabrics and post-manufacture nylon fibers.
2021 - moved production closer to home to reduce emissions, developed fabric from recycled water bottles, sourced deadstock fabrics
2022 - 100% repurpose all fabrics
2025 - zero waste designs
