Ironically, the life cycle of fashion often isn’t so fashionable after all. The real cost an $8.00 t-shirt (that likely falls apart after one wash) often includes compromises on human rights, materials and the environment. This construct of “fast fashion” has taught customers to buy cheap and buy often.
That’s why we’re so proud to have partnered with Encircled - the antithesis of fast fashion. They take a mindful and slow approach to design. They produce only what they need. They incorporate sustainable practices into everything they do - from the sourcing of eco-fabrics that are as comfortable, and travel friendly as they are good for the earth - to up-cycling production cuttings, using recyclable shipping materials and printing on only 100% post-consumer recycled paper. Encircled is committed to bringing quality, sustainability and humanity back to the fashion industry. It’s fashion that helps the planet, the people who make our clothes and customers like you live better lives.
Not only that, but they’re not your front-row-fashion-week people. They’re real, down to earth and truly enjoyable to chat with. Perhaps they were farmers in a previous life? At the very least they are farmers at heart and we’re honoured to have them join our farm family as we create a forest together. Say howdy to them at www.encircled.ca.
