Fast fashion is addicted to cheap, petroleum-derived fabrics. From polyester and acrylic to nylon and lycra, brands just can’t get enough.

Again, this seems like a benign issue, but scientists have found these microplastics at the bottom of the ocean’s deepest trenches and in our bodies. Worryingly, we don’t yet know what the long-term impacts of exposure to these microplastics are. The other issue with these synthetic fibres is the microplastics that they shed throughout their lifetime. These are the tiny bits of plastic that slough off our clothes when we wash and dry them – some of which can be invisible to the naked eye. We have customers who have been enjoying our clothes that have lasted more than 15 years simply by following a few tips. Don't use softners! Our fabrics are soft enough, they don't need it. Softners generally use chemicals that can breakdown age our fibers. The problem is that these synthetic fabrics are derived from oil, and drive climate change. In fact, Changing Markets Foundation says that the production of synthetic fibres currently accounts for 1.35% of our total global oil consumption. This figure seems small, but when you realise that the total exceeds the annual oil consumption of Spain, then you know that it’s problematic.Ever found that beautiful new garment has suddently turned pink? Or that lustre surface and soft feel has disappeared? Always follow the washing / care label instructions, you'll find them on the inside of each garment. You can also see them listed below. Whilst we pride ourselves on producing the most natural and organic garment made ethically to the highest quality and durability; we do suggest to follow some tips to keep your clothes looking and performing beyond your expectation.
