OUR DIFFERENCE
Most modern activewear is made entirely from petroleum-based plastics like polyester, nylon and acrylic. These fibers shed microplastics every wash and wear, contribute to long-term landfill waste, and dominate the global fashion industry with fast, high-pollution production cycles.
We choose a different path prioritizing plant-derived fibers made from organically grown bamboo, low-tox material processing, and small-batch production to create activewear that’s more gentle on your skin and our earth.
OUR COMMITMENT
Primarily Plant-Based
Made with majority plant-derived fibres that reduce microplastic shedding and long-term waste.
Third-Party Certified
Backed by independent certifications for safer materials, ethical production and responsible sourcing.
Biodegradability
Clothing, tags and packaging made from plant-based fibers break down more naturally than petroleum-based plastics.
OUR PRIMARY FABRIC
Responsibly Sourced
We use bamboo sourced from FSC®-certified forestry, ensuring responsible land stewardship and environmental protection.
Organically Grown
Our bamboo pulp carries Organic Content Standard (OCS) certification, confirming that the bamboo crop is grown without GMOs or harmful agricultural chemicals.
