Sustainability
From the careful selection of materials to the meticulous construction process, we ensure that every step in our supply chain meets our high standards of sustainability and fair labour practices.
Fair Trade & Ethical Production
We're proud to partner with our manufacturers in Europe who are committed to ethical & sustainable practices.
- We're able to contribute a fair salary for more than 100 families in Portugal
- No child labour, or sweat shop conditions
- Workers are provided standard working hours and fair break times, in line with E.U. legislation
- OEKO-TEX® certification ensures that materials used are tested for harmful substances, in turn minimising workers' exposure to chemicals in the process
Organic Cotton
Organic cotton has a low impact on the environment.
At LOWF we're proud that 100% of our apparel is made with Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified organic cotton.
- The GOTS Standard is a 3rd party audit that traces the entire textile supply chain to ensure it is ethical and sustainable, from seed to garment.
- Organic farming ensures less water polution from pesticides & a more sustainable soil for future generations.
- Not using pesticides protects local communities from contaminated run off, which would otherwise end up in food & water supplies.
- Less chemicals in our garment making is better for you, the environment, and the future of our planet.
Eco Packaging
When sending out your garments, we take extra care to ensure we're delivering your orders with sustainability in mind.
- LOWF swing tags are printed on 100% recycled card using low toxicity ink, non-bleached string and safety pins.
- Garments are packaged using bio-degradable and compostable garment bags, designed to naturally breakdown after 10-12 months.
- Courier mailers are plant-based and home compostable, which breaks down in 3-6 months without any harmful micro plastics or residues.
