We are a sustainable brand that not only supplies high quality ethical clothing, but educates our clientele on the benefits of doing so.One of our most unique selling points is our decision in using bamboo and organic cotton to produce our high quality products. Our products are traceable from seed to shirt, sourced ethically & produced in a wind powered factory.I no longer take part in the running of this clothing brand but my 2 good friends still do.
