MATE the Label
Founded in 2013, MATE the Label takes a holistic approach to sustainability and considers the full life-cycle of clothing with both people and the planet in mind. Using low-impact dyes, GOTS certified Organic Cotton, and best in class biodegradable fibers, MATE the Label is using their products to spread love, not chemicals. You can learn more at https://matethelabel.com
Knickey
Over 8000 different chemicals are used to produce, dye and finish the textiles that make our clothing - that equates to 43 million tons of chemicals each year. Knickey saw a better option than the standard petroleum based fabrics that make up most women’s underwear and instead utilizes an organic cotton fiber that helps to eliminate the use of crude oil and precious fossil fuels in apparel manufacturing.

Thousand Fell
Through thoughtful design and sustainable materials, Thousand Fell is committed to creating products with end-of-life in mind — beginning with the perfect white sneakers. Using thoughtful design and sustainable products, Thousand Fell shoes are made to last and built to be recycled. You can learn more at https://www.thousandfell.com
