care

The most sustainable thing we can do is to make intentional purchases,
and care for those purchases thoughtfully.
 
Unfortunately Australia ranks number two in the world for textile disposal. The average Australian buys about 27kg of textiles per year and, incredibly, disposes of about 23kg per year. This has to change. We, as consumers, have the power to make a huge impact on these figures by first shopping thoughtfully, and then by making sure to take loving care of our purchases and make them last. Then instead of disposing, make sure to repair, up-cycle or swap clothing and textile products to keep them in use for as long as possible.

 

 

Pareos

Our pareo fabric is extremely lightweight 100% organic cotton voile. It is durable to an extent, but it may be damaged if treated unlovingly. Try not to pull too harshly on your pareo, and try to avoid contact with harsh surfaces, or snagging it on jewellery.
