Sustainability Matters

We are committed to do even better for you, our community and the planet.

Mother Nature Made Us Do It

The Problem

Fashion is one of the most polluting industries in the world and one of the largest consumers of water on the planet. Our planet can’t keep up with this demand and neither can our people with a lack of quality work environment.

Our Promise

 It doesn’t need to be that way - your clothes can be made better - with sustainable, mindful processes that don’t harm our environment. We want to encourage conscious basics and a lean, green wardrobe.

What we're doing

Considered Designs

Considered Designs Our manufacturing process is designed to mitigate waste at every opportunity. Tanya maria garments are knitted in tubes, resulting in very little wastage compared to traditional cut-and-sew manufacturing.

Naturally Organic

Naturally Organic Bamboo doesn’t require pesticides, fertilizers or irrigation to enhance its growth; instead it grows like a weed. It has even been recorded to grow as fast as 47.6 inches in a 24-hour period!

Bamboo = No Waste

After harvesting, virtually every part of the plant is used to make a wide variety of products.

Clean Air

Ahhh, bamboo plantations produce 30% more oxygen than an equivalent area of trees. It also absorbs more carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases.

Yeah, We're The Total Package

Our packaging is made with recycled, post-consumer waste by FSC-certified suppliers, who prioritise the preservation of natural ecosystems and prevent deforestation. Plastic is not fantastic - we don’t use plastic and only print with vegetable-based inks.

Our biodegradable bags

Our relaxed essentials arrive in bags made using biodegradable, compostable and recyclable corn-based PLA.
