Eco-Friendly
When starting our business it was so important to us that we provide the highest quality garments but we were also mindful of our responsibility to be sustainable and ethical wherever possible. After a lot of research we managed to find both a clothing supplier and a printing company that keep these principles at the forefront of everything they do.
To make for easier reading we have broken down the relevant information for you into small sections and bullet points.
