CRUELTY FREE SILK
Our standard - Organic mulberry tree farms need less water, don’t use pesticides and allow the moths to live out their natural lives and pollinate the area. No moths are killed or harmed in the production of our silk.
The wider industry standard - 3,000 - 15,000 silkworms are boiled alive to produce one metre of silk

ORGANIC DYES
Our standard - We use organic dyes to reduce water pollutants and reduce potential irritants against your hair and skin, and all of our dyes are completely carbon neutral.
The wider industry standard - 100-150 litres of water are used for every kilogram of fabric being dyed, using chemicals that contain toxins and pollute the water
100% BIODEGRADABLE ELASTIC
Our standard - Our specially sourced, biodegradable elastic made of sustainable rubber and organic cotton naturally decomposes within 50 years. Not only eco friendly, it is also effectively maintains tension over the long term to keep your hair ties working their best for longer, and extending the lifetime of the product to avoid waste.
As a natural fibre, silk also biodegrades, and avoids shedding microplastics into our oceans after washing.
The wider industry standard - Elastic made from polyester and synthetic rubber, which takes 450 years to decompose and loses tension easily, creating more landfill waste. Synthetic satin that adds microplastics into the water system, harming both ecology and wildlife.
