We’re switching to organic cotton because it preserves the soil, uses less water, and reduces carbon emissions. Kinder to both people and the planet – no pesticides are used during cultivation – by 2025, all of our pure cotton clothing will be organic.
We want to limit the global temperature rise, so we’re making several changes to how our products are made by switching to organic, low-impact, and recycled materials. We’re also adapting how we move them and where we sell them. Our goal is to reach net-zero carbon emissions.
We aspire to help create a circular fashion industry. We’re making the old new again by upcycling legacy stock and giving our garments a second lease on life. Fabric offcuts are being woven into new fibres, and heritage garments are being tie-dyed for a completely new look.
We're looking for alternatives to leather – and where we have found great materials we have made the switch to vegan. We want to save the energy, chemicals, and water typically needed, so we’re using more vegan leather, crafted from a blend of recycled and virgin polyurethane – in 2022, 93% of our trainer collection is vegan.
You will only see our 'Sustainably Sourced' claim where a lower impact material makes up over 50% of a garment's content or 100% of a jacket's padding. Over the last year, 47% of the garments we designed and produced contained organic, lower impact or recycled materials. We are on track to meet our 65% target by 2025 and 100% of all cotton by 2030. Find out more about our journey and how we make our sustainably sourced claims here.
ORGANIC COTTON
Grown using only natural pesticides and fertilisers, organic cotton helps create healthier soil for generations to come. The production of Organic Cotton uses up to 87% less water than conventional cotton and reduces carbon emissions by up to 14%.
ORGANIC COTTON & RECYCLED MATERIALS
The production of Organic Cotton uses up to 87% less water, plus it’s grown without chemical pesticides and fertilisers – so it’s better for our planet - and the farmers who grow it. We use recycled materials from several sources. Giving discarded materials a new purpose saves waste and reduces carbon emissions.
ORGANIC COTTON TENCEL™ BLEND
TENCEL™ modal fibres are produced using Eco Soft technology: an environmentally responsible choice that creates supreme softness.
MADE WITH RECYCLED MATERIALS

MADE WITH SUSTAINABLY SOURCED FIBRES
We use materials from several sustainable plant sources to make our garments.
