This photo is meant to represent #WorldRiverDay 🌊, and it brings me back to why I started this company. Why I kept wanting to push for sustainability within the fashion industry. Why it is something I believe in and want to continue to push for. It comes back to the first time I learnt about the impact fashion has on the environment. Back in 2012, I was in my first year at @ryerson_u (@ryersonfashion), and we had a class that talked about this impact. They said that waterways in Asia were changing colour based on the latest colour trend, with red being the most toxic and carcinogenic. They talked about all of the harmful pesticides that are sprayed on cotton fields and how farmers were dying unexpectedly or getting sick from working in these toxic fields. They talked about the chemicals in the dyes and the amount of water used. They talked about the waste, the tonnes of textiles waste that would get thrown into the landfill and never decompose because they're not made from biodegradable materials, such as polyester or nylon. And this shocked me because I had absolutely no idea. Prior to this, I used to shop at fast fashion brands, being excited that I could afford all of this clothing and change the way I looked based on it, not knowing the impact that it was having on others across the world. After my trip to Asia, I really noticed the pollution in the water and on the streets. This is not just because of fashion, but since this is the industry that I am in, I will aim to make a difference for good while I live on this earth. For me, once I know something, I can't "un-know" it. All of this is to share my "why." I created this brand because there were limited options out there that had the criteria I was looking for and were still stylish (there are more brands now, which is so amazing). I want to provide you with a sustainable, toxic free and cruelty free option when you feel that you need to buy a new item of clothing. If you are an entrepreneur, or thinking of starting your own business, please tell me what your WHY is. 💚

What is TENCEL? And how is it “sustainable?” ⬇️ s u s t a i n a b l e f i b r e🌿 Tencel is derived from sustainable eucalyptus wood pulp from natural forests and sustainably managed plantations. c l o s e d l o o p ♻️ The Tencel we use is produced in a closed-looped system, using 99% of the waste. g e n t l e o n s k i n ✅ Tencel is naturally soft and comfortable for sensitive. m i n i m a l s t a t i c c h a r g e ⚡️ Tencel has the ability to absorb moisture, which makes this fabric tension-free with no electrostatic charging. s t r e n g t h 💪 Tencel is a durable and long-lasting, high quality fabric. t h e r m a l r e g u l a t i o n 🆒 Tencel feels cool & dry, and absorbs moisture more efficiently than cotton. u l t r a s o f t 💚 Tencel fabrics are extremly soft and become softer with wear. #tencel #sustainablefashion #behindtheseams

Brunch conversations this morning included how weekends should be 3 days, not 2. Right? If you agree, I agree, it should be 3. 😋 Also - we can finally tag products on our Instagram. Tap to shop these pants! 📸 @sonya_rez
Spent a long time trying to think of a caption for this. Tried some motivational stuff about being different because there is one red scrunchie in this photo, then tried to say that busy girls need scrunchies because they don't have time to do their hair, and ended up with nothing. So, here is a photograph of some of the scrunchies that we make sitting beside one of our marketing flyers (which btw is made form recycled paper of course) on top of one of my favourite fluffy pillows. Sometimes you just gotta be real, ya know? Comment below if this happens to you and join the struggle 😂 #justbeinghonest #scrunchies #nocaption
