Our cutting marker (the guide used in the cutting process) allows for an effective  consumption percentage of the fabric, and our pattern master efficiently lays out our patterns before hand cutting. These efforts mean that there are very few leftover fabric scraps.  Our sewing factory partner is one of the cleanest, light filled and environmentally responsible factories we’ve seen. They recycle wastewater on site and are solar powered. Their printing facility (a different location) recycles the waste water from printing and rinsing through a private pipeline, processing and returning it to the facility for reuse. 

We transport about 50% of our inventory via cargo ship to reduce our carbon footprint. Our items travel from India to New York, then to our third party, woman-owned warehouse facility in Maryland. This requires more planning and time – so we’ve added an extra three months to our design schedule in order to receive items on time. All this planning allows us to reduce emissions by fitting an entire season in one shipping container! Here is a helpful article on the topic if you wish to read more.

As a small, independent company, we have a unique opportunity to follow an innovative timeline and select fabrics and styles that will stay evergreen year-round. Consideration for our factory’s human resources and the planet are part of how we plan out our design cycle. Our pajamas are sewn in limited fibers, organic cottons and viscose. It’s not common, but there is a good reason – the fabrics we use are woven just for us and made to last. Our patterns and colors may change throughout the year, but are truly timeless so you can love them for years to come.

We believe in paying our talented and hard working employees well and refrain from negotiating unfairly with vendors (the apparel industry is rife with this – and this is an area where a lot of ethics breakdown). Pricing our products appropriately allows us to choose vendors who are ethical, pay their workers fairly/above industry averages, and are environmentally sound. We also believe in the worthiness of our products – our designs hold their value, are made to last, and are priced as such. 

Along with sustainability being at the forefront of our business, size-inclusivity has continually served as a pillar of our design process. Though representation and inclusivity has long been lacking in the fashion industry, we know how important it is to not only produce a size-extended offering, but also craft eco-friendly, sustainable products in this size range. There is always a need for more sustainable options for shoppers of all sizes. 

As soon as we started the line, we knew that we wanted to offer organic cotton and focus on natural breathable fibers like our popular Satin Viscose. It took us about a year to do the tremendous amount of research, ask the right questions and navigate the process to make sure it fit all of our guidelines. It’s important we use plant-based materials in our products whenever possible. We do not use fur, leather, down, exotic animal skin, exotic animal hair, angora or wool.
