Our Commitment to Sustainability
We pride ourselves on designing thoughtful, timeless pieces that are built to last. Here’s what we’ve done so far—and what we’re still working on—to become a more sustainable company.
Produced with care. Built to last.
Our clothes are stylish but not trendy, and we pride ourselves on creating designs you’ll want to wear for years to come.

Shop smarter.
Since our founding, we’ve offered complimentary styling services to ensure that you find the right styles and sizes and only invest in the pieces that will be useful in your wardrobe. That means fewer shipments back and forth and fewer unwanted pieces sitting in your closet.

Get down with upcycling.
Our clothes are built to last, but we know your wardrobe will evolve over time. We make it easy to upcycle pieces you no longer need, which reduces a garment’s carbon footprint by 82% on average.

Care(ful) packages.
Over the past few years, we’ve made major strides toward more sustainable packaging.
In 2020, we transitioned to flat-pack shipping from our factories to our warehouse, which takes up less transit space and requires fewer cartons. Additionally, we take care to use recycled materials in our packaging when possible: our hangtags are made from 100% recycled paper; the polybags used to ship from our factories are biodegradable; and our bubble mailers are made with 50% recycled materials and take up less transit space than cardboard boxes.
We’ve partnered with a zero-landfill logistics center, which stores and ships all our inventory and orders.
95% of our inventory is shipped from our factories to our warehouse by boat, rather than by plane. This option is significantly more fuel-efficient, reducing the carbon footprint of each garment.
It’s the climb.
We know we have more work to do, and we’re so excited to continue along this journey. Here is our pledge for the future:
- We will use 100% sustainable materials by 2030.
- We will be fully climate-positive by 2040.
