Using responsible fibres that have a lower environmental impact is one of our main strategies to reduce our overall footprint on the Earth.

Cotton is one of the most popular fibres in the world and we understand that the traditional production of it involves huge amounts of water and the use of harmful pesticides.
We are committed to reducing this damage to the planet and have put multiple positive actions into place to address this including our membership with the Better Cotton Initiative and the increased use of organic and recycled cotton.
50% of our polyester will be recycled by 2022.
Recycled polyester is a better alternative that reduces carbon emissions, water usage and energy consumption.
To help us meet this goal, we will join Textile Exchange’s recycled polyester challenge. We are excited to be involved in this global initiative to increase the use of recycled polyester in the fashion industry.
