SUSTAINABLE FABRICS: Our goal is to transition all fabrics used in our products to 100% recycled materials, reducing the need for virgin resources.
VEGAN AND CRUELTY-FREENO ANIMAL-DERIVED MATERIALS: We do not use leather, fur, feathers, or exotic skins in any of our products.
ETHICAL PRODUCTION: Our commitment ensures that no animals are harmed in the making of our Sittingsuits.
SAFE AND CERTIFIED PRODUCTSOEKO-TEX CERTIFIED FABRICS: All our fabrics have been tested for harmful chemicals and are certified by OEKO-TEX Standard 100, ensuring they are safe for you and the environment.
GLOBAL RECYCLED STANDARD: The padding in our products is certified by the Global Recycled Standard (GRS), verifying the recycled content and responsible production practices.
We are deeply committed to reducing our environmental impact through various initiatives and future goals. Our pattern-making process incorporates zero-waste design principles to minimize material waste during production, and we actively reuse all cardboard boxes and plastic bags where possible, reducing waste in our operations. To further our sustainability efforts, we ship webshop orders in locally produced recycled plastic bags and are exploring options for biodegradable and more sustainable packaging materials for all shipments.
To extend the lifespan of our products, we offer to cover the cost of local repairs for faulty Sittingsuits instead of processing returns and exchanges, encouraging our customers to repair and continue using their garments. We also urge our customers to donate used Sittingsuits to suitable charities, such as refugee camps and homeless shelters, to prolong their usage time and support those in need.
Looking toward the future, we are working diligently to transition all fabrics used in our products to 100% recycled materials and will keep you updated on our progress as we strive to achieve this goal. We aim to begin measuring our carbon emissions to identify areas for reduction and are investigating ways to reduce our carbon footprint, including more sustainable transportation methods and energy usage.
